Freaking Out

[sillygirl]

My hubby had a little d* tonight, which panicked me a little bit, but not oo much. Normally when he isn't feeling well, he knows to use our guest bathroom to leave our bathroom nice and sanitary for me. Well, tonight when he had to go, his sister was over and was in the guest bathroom, so he had no choice but to use our bathroom. Whenever he does this, I always freak out a little bit, wash everything down with bleach cleanser, and the weird thing - get a new toothbrush. I read somewhere once that when a person flushed the toilet, the particles go up in the air and - you get the picture. Our bathroom doesn't have a medicine chest, so we leave our toothbrushes in a holder on the counter.


So tonight when I was getting ready for bed, I went to pull a new toothbrush out of the drawer. After I used it, I started worrying about if it was the one I used the last time my hubby had a sv. That time I kept putting it back into the drawer in it's original container because I didn't want to put it on the counter while my husband was still sick. Even though the package on the one I used tonight seemed to be pretty tightly sealed, I am worrying that it was the one I used before. It would have been about 6 months ago, so even if there were any germs on it, they probably would all have died by now.


I'm probably flipping out over nothing since I saw two open toothbrushes in the drawer (he was sick twice in January) and they were obviously opened. I'm sure I would have noticed if this one had been that far opened too. I swear, the more I think about this, the more I think I have nothing to worry about, but I am still scared. We leave for vacation the day after tomorrow, so I am scared I will get sick.


I hope posting this will help me vent and let my logical brain kick back in. I need to try to get some sleep now. I hate all of this worrying!

Everyone here in my house has had an sv recently. I have bought three new toothbrushes in under two weeks because I don't want my brush touching the ones they've used with their illness germs on. The only thing is yesterday after using my brush I put it back in the pot with theirs. That'll be another new one for me today.Edited by: yenn

I am not feeling good. I have sharp pai ns in my intetines, and my stomach is gurgling. I feel awful. I have so much to do to get ready for my trip too. Ugh. I hope I'm not getting sick.
