Jan 8 by VivaLasViejasQuote from LTCNSHAHAHA! Where I work, the state surveyors returned last Monday for our re-survey and took to their heels when we told 'em we had Noro in the building.......we haven't seen them since.The virus spread like wildfire through the 60 bed facility I worked in and we had state survey while everyone was quarantined, on full liquid diets with the aroma of vomit and diarrhea wafting down the halls.

Jan 9 by LTCNSUnfortunately the surveyors we had decided to stay and were there for three days, staying until after 5pm all three days. Can you believe we got tagged for odors? Ya' think? LOL! -
Jan 9 by Paul'in'FLQuote from LTCNSIf you haven't had the "fun" of this bug, you don't understand the body aches and joint pain on top of the GI symptoms!I had Norovirus last Christmas and stayed in bed for three days. I went to work that morning, had to leave two hours later and threw up ten times on the 45 minute drive home. I felt like my joints were being slowly and brutally twisted and like my guts were in a war at sea with Blackbeard and his band of evil pirates winning. This Christmas I got the lovely gift of double pneumonia. I have spent the last two Christmases in bed away from family
And it wouldn't be Christmas in my family if someone, or usually EVERYONE, wasn't sick as a dog....it is as much of a tradition as stockings and presents. Seems everyone I talk to has the same thing happen in their households.LTCNS and VivaLasViejas like this. - GuideJan 9 by VivaLasViejasI'm thankful we got past the holidays before the dreaded Norovirus poleaxed me, but it sure wasn't long afterward. Getting sick around New Year's is MY family's proud tradition.
Finally feeling normal again.....I even got hungry today! Still can't handle much food at one time, and even the idea of eating anything really sweet or fatty makes me eerily reminiscent of the early hours of the illness.
But I don't feel weak or tired anymore, and my poor outraged alimentary canal is healing nicely. LOL

Jan 11 by OCNRN63I have bad memories of working at one hospital. Not only did I get noro when I worked there, I got pertussis as well. Good times, good times...VivaLasViejas likes this. - Asst. Admin
