Blatant sympathy seeking

[Stan_Lite]

I am starting this thread in order to elicit comments of sympathy and pity. I make no apology for this blatant attention whoring

To cut a long story short; I had some bad fish at lunchtime yesterday and I now have very bad food poisoning. I was up half the nigh pooping and when I wasn't pooping, I couldn't get to sleep for the stomach cramps. The result of all this is that I had about 3 hours sleep last night and up until a couple of hours ago, I was s**tting all my life force down the pan.

I got some tablets from the rig doctor which have helped a lot. I have stopped defacating for now and the painkillers he gave me for the stomach cramps seem to be pretty good. He also gave me some tablets which are like a sort of antiseptic for the stomach which should, he says, kill all the nasty bugs.

I have no energy at all (it's a good job we're not busy today) and to cap it all the AC in the mud lab I share with the mud engineer is on the blink so it's actually hotter in here than it is outside. I keep nodding off and need to keep typing to stay awake.
