Thanks for all the good thoughts. I am doing better, but still afraid to eat much. Ambulance staff said to stick to bland food for a couple of days, which is not hard to do as my stomach is still a little sore. Not easy to find bland food when you are away from home, however. Started off morning by drinking some milk. Also, I had a fruit cup later and ate only half of it. Also had a juice drink that was mostly grape and apple, but only drank half of that as well. It is about 9 pm and I am in hotel room. I looked at sandwiches in my favorite takeout spot, but ended up with two hard boiled eggs and some pudding. That seemed as bland as I could get! Anyway am working at eating the eggs, and they taste OK.
I was so panicky when I was vomiting that I had Covid, I was positive I would end up in the hospital and miss my flight. No one wears masks around the UK, and I confess I have not been good at wearing one either, but their numbers have been fairly low, probably due to their 75% vaccination rate. I was upset that I had managed to stay healthy for a whole month and now had messed it up and was really sick. So, having food poisoning was good news, strangely enough.
I spent most of yesterday, after I got into my new hotel, just taking it easy and napping. Also, got a good night's sleep last night. Just in case, I have been testing myself for Covid last couple of nights and both tests were negative, so that is good. I also confess to going out and doing part of a Samuel Pepys walk, and then going to a department store called Liberty that two ladies said I absolutely had to go to, so I really overdid it today, but after a couple of hours of rest, I feel better.
