Day after Swancon

Sick with a mild stomach bug. I thought I was only fatigued; fell over around 1pm Monday after managing to make it home. Feeling vaguely better now and hoping I didn't give it to anyone...though somebody undoubtedly managed to give it to me. This is a thing which can only be paid forward.

Had a great convention; will write more when I am fully returned from the land of extreme fogginess, aching and a queasy gut.

Thanks. I'm getting there and quite thankful I was not sick earlier. Very sorry if I gave it to anyone along with a farewell hug!

I think it was the bug of the con, though I don't think I got it from you.

I tend to blame one of the restaurants.

I hope you're feeling better soon. I had a 24 hour stomach bug the other week and it was ghastly. At least it went away quickly!

I am better now, thanks, though it's still lingering. Got no energy at all. It's unfortunately traditional to catch something like this at a sf con, which makes sense I guess, many of us eating at restaurants and also being in close quarters with someone who might be sick and not know it yet. Didn't really miss much, as I would have if it struck a day earlier, so that's good.

I'm glad that being ill wasn't a big inconvenience. Yep, being in close quarters with people will do it. I saw a GP about my stomach bug (needed a certificate for work) and he asked whether I had been around sick people lately :P I work in a huge building full of em ;)
