SICK.

[panik]

Very.

I'll spare you the symptoms, they ain't pretty - but I honestly can't ever remember feeling so bad before in all my life.

I hope everyone is OK? Hope I didn't pass it on to anyone else.

I'm in bed (where I've been since Monday afternoon), waiting for the doc to call. I've been messing with my pictures from Saturday but it's hurting my head a little. I'll post them as soon as I can find the strength. Assuming I'm spared. ::sigh::

ETA: The doc has been, it's a virus; fluids, paracetamol yadda yadda yadda. I have a prescription for the nausea but it's just a matter of waiting it out. 7 to 10 days. Bugger.

Oh noes! Out, damned microbes!
Feel better soon!

damned microbes

The bastards. What I'd do to them if I could only see them.

Thanks for the good wishes ::she murmured feebly::

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so sorry, Gilly! I do hope that you're feeling much better sooner than that :;hugs;:

And your icon is making me smile :-)

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Oh me too. I thought he'd say 'in a few days' or something. Gods, it's an awful thing, I feel absolutely bloody. I hope I haven't passed it on to Garett. :o(

The icon... heh. Hey, he said it first! I only put it on an icon and spread it around the internet.

Poor you, hope you will be fit enough for tomorrow. {{{{hugs}}}}

hope you will be fit enough for tomorrow.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Highly unlikely, I'm afraid. I just sent them an email asking of they still wanna come. ::sigh::

So, how was Morecambe?

Re: hope you will be fit enough for tomorrow.

[suemc.livejournal.com]

Morecambe was brilliant, tell you more later as I have work. But we found Eric and all had our piccy taken and sang the song.

Oh you poor thing! What a come-down after your weekend. I do hope you're up and about again soon. *makes soup to aid in recovery*

oh. soup.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's a kind thought but I must ask you to keep that soup away from me lest it be returned to you in a most unpleasant fashion. (o:

::groans:: Gods, I feel frightful! And I have an assortment of Americans and Kiwis arriving tomorrow - assuming they still want to. ::groans again::

Oh, Bucket!

[miwahni.livejournal.com]

Sorry! But I don't have a bucket icon - maybe that would be better? More useful right now?
What a rotten time to have visitors, when you're not well enough to enjoy the company.

[boogieshoes.livejournal.com]

i hope you feel better soon, but to be honest, right now i'm jealous that you have a doctor that makes house-calls....

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

No house calls? What do you do if you're too sick to go to the surgery?

[boogieshoes.livejournal.com]

i think that's what 911 is supposed to be for. :-p

a person's usual options are friends/ family or a cab. i'd probably call a cab, myself.

So sorry you're feeling bad. Sounds like a bugger of a virus.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

It is indeed a buggering bugger of a virus. And reports are trickling in of other GMOHers with similar symptoms. Dammit!

[the4ts.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Poor you :(

Yikes, 7 - 10 days!

I do hope you start to feel better soon and the nausea goes away quickly.

::big, gentle hug::

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Mark reckons the 7-10 days is just the doctor hedging his bets. I really hope so.

It seems others who were at the dinner have come down with something or other. I hope Garett's OK - and yourself, of course.

Thanks for the hugs, sending some back by return.

[the4ts.livejournal.com]

I'm coming down with a cold but I think I've picked that up from 2 of my co-workers rather than anyone at the con. And just in time for it to probably hit hard at the weekend when I'm at the Torchwood con :(

Nothing like what has hit you though :( :( :(

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Lots of bed rest and comfort fics I think. Take care and be well soon.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

I'm in bed now and likely to be staying put for the near future. Alas, I cannot read, it's doing terrible things to my head. I'm watching DVDs on the computer and getting very, very bored.

[maybeatdawn.livejournal.com]

Sending good vibes, to bad Blair can't heal you too. Being ill and resting may bring you interesting dreams, and new talking with your muses. Take care.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

The nausea tabs say 'may cause drowsiness' so one can always hope. *g*

Thanks for the good wishes, hon.

[luicat.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you feel so bad and I hope the doc was wrong and you feel better sooner. Poor you.

It would appear that GMOH's are not good for my health either. I had a dreadful cold last time and this? I have been hot and cold all day and have a great cough. Fortunately I don't have the drippy nose as of yet! But I have been and raided the pharmacy - there is no way in hell I'm missing Hamlet!

Sending you lots of healing vibes
♥

I have been hot and cold all day

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Oh noes! Oh baby, plenty of fluids and rest if you can.I hope the dread lurgi doesn't strike you too. ::sending the hugs of healing and luurve::

Enjoy Hamlet!

Re: I have been hot and cold all day

[luicat.livejournal.com]

The lurgi is there, but seems to be improving - though I could have done without the smoke they used in Hamlet. It had a load of us coughing! (Though I wasn't as bad as others)

It was great! I've left them there for you, but the Doctor Who fangirls might have other plans! It's LLL tomorrow,,,
:oD

[rhianne.livejournal.com]

::huge hugs:: I hope you feel better really soon, sweetheart :-(

Thanks baby.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

::is strong like a brave little soldier::

I hope it doesn't strike you, too. It does seem to have caught a few of us who were there.

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Oh baby - 7 to 10 days? Bugger indeed! Double-bugger even

You poor love - I'm hoping you're experiencing a miraculous recovery, or at least feeling a load better.

::sends hugs and strong booze and bug spray::

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

I'm with Snail. Triple bugger even! =<{

I hope you prove the doctor wrong and get better VERY soon!

::extremely gentle hugs::

[earth2skye.livejournal.com]

ETA: Argh, Silly me. Never mind this comment in its first carnation (though I do hope you are loads better, of course, especially after a *month*.) Anyway, browsing back I somehow got the dates mixed up and thought this was from Nov. 14th...

Cheers!

I'm pretty much fine now, thanks

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Still got the last vestiges of a cough, though. It truly was the bug from Hell.

Glad to hear you're home safe and had such a great time.
