Today, I took my first holiday from work in over 6 months as it was my birthday. Today was also the day I woke up and vomited violently for 10 straight hours as a result of food poisoning. FML

Today, I was going to spend my weekend celebrating my first time not being sick since Labor Day. I woke up with a sinus infection instead. FML

Today, my period has given to me 4 giant zits, 3 screaming shits, 2 stomach ulcers, and a fever blister on my lips. A few days until Christmas and the gifts keep coming. FML

Today, I got a quick COVID test and got a positive result. Christmas is in 3 days, my son and husband have to stay with my mom and Christmas is my favorite holiday. I've never been away from them this long and it is killing me. FML

Today, I learned that I have a sinus infection, ear infection and bronchitis so bad it was on the verge of pneumonia. My work won't let me call in sick. I work with kids. Lovely. FML

Today I woke up with an extremely bad flu and severe nausea. As I rolled around wanting to die I remembered that 4 days prior, I had hoped to get a cold to skip a compulsary carol service for my Catholic school. Now, on Christmas Eve, I just want to say, be careful what you wish for. FML

Today, I got my tonsils removed. My body also agreed that today was a good day to get a bad cough. My bed currently looks like a scene out of "Dexter". FML

Today, I got my first positive Covid test. It's also the first day of a week-long vacation that included two things I'd been planning for weeks that I haven't done in years, and a trip somewhere I've been looking forward to for months. All shot to hell right before it began. FML

I just got over 4 weeks of bronchitis, myself. The first day I started feeling a bit better, I dislocated a rib. 6-8 week recovery. This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Hey, I've been in the hospital for the past 2 months and it's not that bad! Don't let a sickness stop you from having fun OP, I haven't let it stop me. I hope you get better though

Look on the bright side.. At least you don't have to go to work or make excuse for missing.

Don't worry OP, it could be worse; I once vomited onto the presents when I was younger.

All I can think about is the delicious food you won't be able to enjoy this holiday season.

A little whiskey down the hatch should help, & hopefully you recover before your return to work OP.

Tonsillitis usually clears up within a few days. Gargle with salt water and dont eat anything the is dry and crunchy. I used to get it a lot, and it does indeed suck.
