Oh hey, my sister and her entire family had that last week. She also rated it 0/10.

Hopefully you all get over it more quickly and with less severe stomach cramping than my family did.

I ended up in the hospital for this in 2022. I caught it from a baby who had caught it at daycare who in turn ended up in the hospital with it too. It's no joke. I hope you feel better soon, @SkiOtter. 🙁

This hospitalized me as well in 2023. I am a young healthy person and I genuinely thought I was gonna die for a moment when I’m pretty sure I was hypotensive. Clearly hyperbole but I was just THAT sick - lots of fluids and ondansetron worked wonders.

Skiotter, feel better!

There was an hour or two I thought I was dying the night of the 24th because of noro + my POTS and vasovagal syncope 🫠🫠🫠🫠 was contemplating ER for IV fluids and IV ondansetron when I couldn’t even keep water down and the world kept getting spinny 🥲 so far we’re all feeling MUCH better but it’s still a bit on and off with the nausea for me

Thank you for the update, @SkiOtter. I hope things go back to normal quickly for you.

Oof that was my breaking point. I couldn’t keep water down, the body aches were too bad, and I was vomiting every thirty minutes. One US guided IV (which is the SLOWEST damn IV placement) and several rounds of anxiety and sickness vomiting, I got a whole bag of fluids, toradol, and IV Zofran and felt much better.

See, it was like midnight/1 am on Christmas Eve/morning of Day and I really didn’t want to go anywhere and also I didn’t want to have to clean puke or anything else out of my car 😂

Santa brought my family Norovirus for Christmas. 0/10.

Hey same. 0/10 recommend.

I’m still heated about a client this week who demanded that I send him the medical records after having worked with him a few days in a row (have easily talked to him ~45 minutes a day for like 3 days) and explained everything in easy words.

So I did, he called back 30 minutes later saying that he didn’t understand anything I wrote, demanding for me to go through it all.

I explained that I wasn’t going to be able to do that, as I had already talked with him about everything in there and had other patients to talk with. He said no, starts yelling that he needed to understand it and that he has the right to know what’s going on. I told him that I explained everything in client friendly language multiple times, the medical record is obviously an official document and is written thus. He then said “I need you to go through this because I have the right to know this and he doesn’t care how long it takes me to explain it because I’m paying for you”

I said, “I’m not going to do that, as I said. I’ve already gone over everything multiple times. I can’t help you understand it more beyond that and if you don’t understand the words I write in my medical records, you can either google them or go to vet school. Goodbye.”

Which felt good but UGH I’m still annoyed over 24 hours later. Like I’m in critical care, to think you own my time because you’re paying me? Be so for real.

also it’s a ****ing bad case of AHDS, not like ventilation. Be so for real right now.

1. I bet your staff loved reading that comm log
2. Does your hospital have a charge for extended phone calls/consults or something? If he continues to occupy this much of your time, you absolutely need to slap that charge on there for each phone call.

Thankfully the worst of it was over in like 6 hrs. Hope you're feeling better too!

this was the first year i’ve actually accomplished things off of my yearly vision board, but i still have a long road to self improvement. i wish i could just switch my mindset overnight.

i seek too much instant gratification and constant stimulation (cant sleep without youtube videos, cant eat without videos, always checking my phone, always spending money, always eating) so i’m hoping i can slow down and be more present and mindful this upcoming year. not that 24 is “old” but i’m getting older and feel like i need to take a serious look at my life and priorities and work on removing bad habits and replacing them with more positive and productive ones.

i’ve accumulated 35 books in the last two years that i have no touched or opened— so first goal of 2026 is to read all 35 of those books
