Ya.. I had the salmonella.. I'm not sure where I got it from but it was awful.
9/22 -- woke up feeling a bit odd. Decided to work from home
9/23 -- mild but constant stomach cramps.
9/24 -- more cramps and sudden high fever. I ended up in urgent care. I was rehydrated with an IV of saline and sent home
9/25 -- spent day curled up in a ball on the floor. Sent a "sample" in. Fever on and off. Started Cipro in PM
9/26 -- spent day curled up in a ball on the floor. Realized I was feeling even worse a few hours after Cipro
9/27 -- Still on floor. Called advice nurse and told to stop taking cipro. fever still on and off
9/28 -- feeling a little better. Still have fever on and off.
9/29 -- thought I was fine. went to work but felt dizzy most of day. Fever gone
9/30 -- mowed my overgrown yard. Still tired
10/1 -- Was out of town but my Dr. called to say I had salmonella.
10/2 -- Still out of town. Still not feeling right I'd say I was 80%
10/3 -- Started 3 day antibiotic
10/4 - 10/6 -- feeling better but tired. I usually run a mile in the morning but I didn't feel up to it.
10/7 - 10/10 -- feeling mostly better but I still haven't tried running and it seems that I get winded pretty easily. I want to be myself again already. :-(
So where did I get it? My county health department called me today to try to determine that. On 9/20 I was at the "The New New Internet Conference". I wonder if anyone else got sick. I also had some Giant brand rotisserie chicken on those days but no one else in my house got sick. Its a mystery to me.
