Ugh... I don't even know where to begin. I'm a nervous wreck. So much so that I could just cry. We went to church on Sunday as always. By Monday night my mom and grandpa who live in separate houses both came down with the Stomach Flu. I then learned that probably 20 people have had it since Monday. I'm thinking someone came to church still sick on Sunday and contaminated everyone they shook hands with and all these people probably ate out after church and didn't wash or sanitize their hands. Anyway, today my grandma has it now from my grandpa. My mom said it was the worst thing ever. She said she only threw up once but had diarrhea for like 16 hours straight with very little time between bouts. Other people in the church are throwing up from it though.
Tonight I have a concert to go to. Tomorrow I leave for a 2 days retreat with none other than the people in my church. Including my mom who has been sick and some other women who have been sick or have had sick people in their homes this week. I'm a nervous wreck that I'm going to catch it. I probably am safe from catching it from whoever brought it to church sunday since everyone seemed to get sick by monday or tuesday but i'm not safe from catching it from the people that had it and were back in church yesterday. I know my mom was back in church last night. I didn't shake her hand or go near her but she was there. I'm a nervous wreck. There are 50 women going and only 4 bathrooms in this lodge we are staying in. If someone gets sick we are all doomed. I feel doomed already. How can i not feel doomed? I feel like with everyone around me getting it that there is no way around me catching it too... can anyone help me feel a little better. Maybe a positive story about how people in your house had it and you were around them and didn't catch it. I dunno..I need a threat to hold on to before I burst into tears or have a panic attack.
