The World's Worst Patient

'I'm not well...I'm feel sick...I'm not well...' Repeat every ten minutes for the duration.

I have norovirus. It started at bed time last night and by 3am I was googling 'mushroom poisoning' in between bouts of throwing up and had convinced myself I was three days away from liver failure. Unlike most women of my age, I have absolutely no sense of proportion when it comes to me and minor illnesses; everyone else gets the 'you'll feel better in the morning' treatment.

I am feeling a little bit better now, so I'm going to have a hot bath, then go downstairs and carry on suffering not very silently.
