Just my luck! I've been dodging folks here at work that have had the sv* (as they describe it "the worst ever"). As an emet, I avoid many places and people during the peak of sv* season (seems to be typically Oct - December in my neck of the woods)!
I desided to go to my little Mexican Food restarant that I trust and love. I know the entire family and it is the best food in town.
I have not been in a few weeks so as I was eating, the owner came over to say hi as he always does and I asked him if he had a good Thanksgiving and he said "no". I knew what was to follow....he had "the worst sv* ever! lastes 5 days!
Trying to keep calm and finish lunch I talked myself down thinking that it's been several days since he was ill. He said he's been fine all week.
Then I made the mistake of asking his daughter how she was doing (stupid question) and she told me how they all have been sick with the sv*. Her fiance works the door and shook hands with me.
Logic tell me, if they had it, it has spread to other workers knowingly or unknowingly and they are preparing my food, which inspite of it all was very good and piping hot as always! LOL!
Now begins the 72 hours of dwelling and waiting, not eating getting week and sickish feeling! I hate this! I'm like the magnet for people who are sick with sv* and it always is "the worst case ever'! WTF?
I don't know if I hate the sv* more than my emets but dang it this drives me nuts and it ruins my Christmas Holiday almost every year!
OK, just had to vent. i know there is nothing I can do, if I got exposed, I'm exposed I just have to try and not v*
I hate the wating game! ARRRRRRRRRG!
