Ya.. I had the salmonella.. I’m not sure where I got it from but it was awful.

9/22 — woke up feeling a bit odd. Decided to work from home
9/23 — mild but constant stomach cramps.
9/24 — more cramps and sudden high fever. I ended up in urgent care. I was rehydrated with an IV of saline and sent home
9/25 — spent day curled up in a ball on the floor. Sent a “sample” in. Fever on and off. Started Cipro in PM
9/26 — spent day curled up in a ball on the floor. Realized I was feeling even worse a few hours after Cipro
9/27 — Still on floor. Called advice nurse and told to stop taking cipro. fever still on and off
9/28 — feeling a little better. Still have fever on and off.
9/29 — thought I was fine. went to work but felt dizzy most of day. Fever gone
9/30 — mowed my overgrown yard. Still tired
10/1 — Was out of town but my Dr. called to say I had salmonella.
10/2 — Still out of town. Still not feeling right I’d say I was 80%
10/3 — Started 3 day antibiotic
10/4 – 10/6 — feeling better but tired. I usually run a mile in the morning but I didn’t feel up to it.
10/7 – 10/10 — feeling mostly better but I still haven’t tried running and it seems that I get winded pretty easily. I want to be myself again already.

So where did I get it? My county health department called me today to try to determine that. On 9/20 I was at the “The New New Internet Conference”. I wonder if anyone else got sick. I also had some Giant brand rotisserie chicken on those days but no one else in my house got sick. Its a mystery to me.
