Still ill, and with a temperature; I think I'm going to have to skip shul tonight and probably tomorrow as well. I can't remember the last time I've had to do that. (It would seem all previous illnesses I've had for many years happened midweek.) I feel rotten and lonely. :-(

I apologise for passing on the Christmas Crud; this round is particularly nasty :-(

My fullest sympathies; I know *exactly* how you feel.

I didn't think you were at Limmud! ;^b

Actually, more seriously, this must have been one of the organisers' worst nightmares: bringing together over two thousand people into close proximity, and then having a stomach bug break out. But they handled it well, announcing it early and encouraging people to quarantine themselves, as I did, if infected; and as a result I don't think too many people were infected—not bad, considering it was nasty enough that at least eight people (from what I'd heard) ended up having to be hospitalised.

Hope you feel better.

BA camp aso had an out break with 3 children hospitalised.

I wish I could have spent it with you but as I am ill, too, and now too far away from you I couldn't.

What good would spending Shabbos with me do you except infecting you with my illness?

[curious-reader.livejournal.com]

I never got anything from you or anybody. You had fever before and I visited you. Maybe even the same symptoms. What do the think all the children in the nurseries have? A baby even had fever and was in the nursery anyway. This particular baby was very attached to me. Other children with a slimy running nose made me very dirty because they kept crawling into my arms using me as a bed sometimes. I never got ill. I only get ill from weather change or lack of hygiene.

I hope that by now you are feeling better. If not, remind me of what your Hebrew name is...Alexander is part of it, right? Regardless, I am sorry that you were ill, then felt better and then got ill again, especially at Limmud. Here's to less sickness in the coming solar calendar year.

Nope. They said at Limmud it was a 24–48 hour bug, and so the diarrhoea turned out to be, but the fever is dragging on: Present each morning, subdued throughout the day by Nurofen, then returning overnight. Yesterday I had no temperature, but skipped shul anyway. Then, just before I was about to leave for livredor's birthday party, I started feeling unwell again. By 8:30, I was good for nothing except bed, and then this morning I woke up with a slight temperature again. :-(

If not, remind me of what your Hebrew name is...

No. I do not believe praying for the relief of someone's illness has any effect, and my personal integrity will therefore not countenance any such prayers being said on my behalf. (If I am going to be a rationalist all my life, I am damned well going to do my best not to turn to superstition when things turn against me.)

[awful-dynne.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. Regardless, I do hope that the bug leaves soon so that you can feel better and return to your routine.
Good luck.
