Horrible thing to say, but you are better off getting now than while on Vacation!

Definitely better now then later!!

I was on antibiotics 2 weeks ago for a horrible sinus infection, dh had most of last week off due to viral bronchitis that turned bacterial so he had antibiotics. Fil is off to the dr today to get some antibiotics for the same thing dh had and I am hoping the rest of them avoid all illness as we leave tomorrow!!!

Oh and I just found out that my 12yo DS' best friend is home today with the stomach flu..... Ahhhh!!

Since stomach/intestinal upsets are not the flu at all, but usually a bacterial illness, I'd say you'll probably be fine as long as you treat the symptoms (and hopefully don't spread it to the rest of your family). It really sucks though, to be sick from anything this close to your trip (when you'd rather be packing and planning). Feel better soon

I hope you feel better. These bugs are normally 48 hours max. And previous posts are correct. Even if you come in contact with it again, you'll be safe. Plus it's a great way to shed a few pounds for bathing suits ( sorry).

Just Lysol the house and buy gravel if you family is traveling with you. We all had it a few years ago - half before we left and the other half the first night there.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys. Holy batman my body has taken a beating with this,I dropped my favorite mug this morning-I'm as week as a kitten.The dreaded V and D has stopped,so I'm hoping with some slow introduction of light foods I'll build up some strength. I have to go back to work tomorrow and am just hoping for a quiet rest of the week. However this is dreaming as I work in a school with over 350 kids that are very excited about march break.
A positive is looking at my closet and saying I might go instead of saying I'm staying in this bed and never moving again.
Thanks again
