Food Poisoning for the Lose
Been very out of it recently.
Will start posting again soon.
I got a really bad case of food poisoning Wednesday night, went to the hospital at 4am Thursday morning, missed out on all Christmas stuff with my family, so severely dehydrated, I was steps away from kidney damage. Luckily I got to the hospital in time. (Thanks Marina)
I’ve been in bed pretty much non-stop since then, I could...
