I just can’t believe it!
Ok, let me fill you in the story. I was hard at work yesterday, arranging things for the session that our clients are going to take all the employees of my company through. Its a 4 hour session and the person from the client will be coming for 10 days and take a session each. We have around 420 staff in our company and so it isn’t the easiest task to organize things. Since my boss is away in Bangalore for a few days on official business, I tried doing everything I can to keep things ready for Monday. I got almost everything organized, and the two minor things left can wait until Monday morning. I sent all the mails and lists and stuff.
A couple of the newly promoted guys wanted to treat 3 of us, so they waited until 7:15 pm when I finished and we headed for the bar at Hotel Sea Gate. We ordered some vodka, 7 up and soda and one guy had beer. We had some beef to go along with it. After a few drinks, I was unsteady on my feet and headed to the loo to take a piss. A couple of minutes later, I puked all over the wash basin there.
Another guy, the host, was also sick and we then went down to catch an auto for Neil & me to come back home. It must have been past 10:30 or so by then. I puked a little on the ground while waiting for the auto and then puked twice more on the way home. Each time ofcourse, the driver stopped by the side so that I could puke properly. I felt like crap. I reached home and fell right into bed, after taking off my clothes and washing myself ofcourse. I slept fitfully until 4 am when I ran to the bathroom and puked again. I tried going back to sleep but it was of no use.
I puked a total of 10 times last night and today combined and by the end it was just water. I tried drinking some soda as I was building gas in me but a few sips brought forth another round of puking. Finally I got some medicine prescribed by an uncle who is a doctor and the security guard of my building got it for me. The meds calmed me down and I slept the entire morning away. In the afternoon I took a little ‘kanji’ (rice & water) and about 90 minutes back I had two dry toasts as I have feeling hungry. I am so tired and I had a nasty headache as well. I’ve never puked this much before and it was terrible. I think it was probably food poisoning or something.
Argh, I never want to go through that again. Not for a million bucks!
oh man… that totally sounds like food poisoning! did your friend who was sick also eat the same thing as you did? you can get ill from bad food anywhere between 30 mins and 48 hours *after* you’ve ingested said spoiled food, eh?
drunk puking only lasts until your stomach is empty. i would lodge a complaint with the health inspector against that place!!
hope you feel better soon, hun.
My friend is also ill. But 4 of us ate the food and only 2 got sick. I don’t believe it was the drinks cause i can have more than what I had. It was the beef that did us in. Funny thing is I’ve been avoiding beef at hotels and almost always eat it only if its home cooked.
Sweetie, I feel much better today and went to work but I restricted myself to just biscuits, fruit juice with no sugar.
You and your sick friend might have gotten different cuts of beef than your other two friends, eh? bleh!
*pats roshan on the back*
Food illness is soooo bad to go through!
