Well you may have been wondering where I have been, I had a 11 hour work day Monday and had to fly to Dallas, unfortunately I had to connect through Houston and they had delayed flights from all points on the map. To compound things I had not been feeling well and it hit me hard that day, I was loosing fluids at an incredible rate (if you know what I mean) and traveling is no place to have that condition. I finally got to my room after an 18 hour day, but I kept getting worse, my daughter wanted me to go to Urgent Care but they were closed since it was after 11:00pm. I toughed it out through the night and got myself together and went to Urgent Care the next morning, after 3 hours of testing I was diagnosed with Salmonella Poisoning. The doctor said he would normally admit me to the hospital and put me on an IV, but since I was so strong and healthy (he knew I needed to fly on Thursday also) he gave me a 3 prescriptions and explained to me how to re-hydrate myself and the does & don'ts of food. I have been holed up in the hotel and need to move to me room by the airport today, I have to be able to get on that flight tomorrow.

:(

World wide,there are hundreds of thousands of deaths alone just from diaria dehydration.Especially in the young.Lack of sanatized water is usually the culprit.Plook had Salmanilla poisoning,which gives you dehibilitating stomach cramps,diaria,ect.,and yes,if you don't get help,you can die.If you don't die,you sure as hell don't wanna live with that poison in you! It's terrible.Like food poisoning,you can barely crawl to the bathroom and can't think clearly,it's painful and yes,it's the shits! El Bummo. :(

I apologize for being harsh Bravo, but yes I waited 5 days before I ended up at urgent care, the doctor said if I waited any longer it could have killed me. I had not been feeling well for a couple of weeks so I did not identify this as something new and sudden, by the time I realized I may have food poisoning I had become so dehydrated I was in really bad shape. It is a credit to the antibiotics and my good general condition that I have bounced back so well. One of my biggest problems is a high pain threshold and incredible tenacity to keep going even when under the weather. On day 4 I got up and started writing reports at 4:30 in the morning and then went out to the field and perform more audits, I was in touch with my wife and she said something bad is wrong with you go to a doctor, but I had to catch a flight at 4:30pm in Oklahoma to Houston, then Houston to Dallas. Due to delays my flight in Houston did not leave until 9:00pm, by the time I arrived got a car and drove to my room it was 11:00pm and I was in really bad shape since I couldn't keep anything down I had not eaten or drank nearly anything in over 24 hours. My daughter found an Urgent Care by my room and I headed there 1st thing in the morning. The doctor said he would normally Hospitalize me but that he new I had to catch a flight Thursday and that my blood pressure and heart rate were good (he said I had an athletic heart and he couldn’t believe I was smoker) so he zapped me with some antibiotics gave me some prescriptions and taught me how to hydrate myself and what to eat and not to eat. I was mixing Pedialite and Gatorade and went through about 3 gallons in 36 hours. I feel pretty good right now and I would not wish this on anyone, thank you all for your concern.

No one has pointed out the irony of Plook getting food poisoning in a thread where he is inviting people to meet him for lunch.

But I'm glad you're alright, Plook.
