canyonwalker2025 has gotten off to a shit start. And I mean that kind of literally. Hawk and I both came back from Panama with some kind of stomach bug. We've been suffering diarrhea for going on a week now. In addition we're achy overall and fatigued. I've felt like lying in bed half the day each day. I've taken a few mid-afternoon naps, even a few mid-morning naps, and I've gone to bed before 9pm several times.
What's the cause? It's hard to say. Early on I wondered if we might be coming down with Norovirus, as it's in the news recently rates of that have shot way up as part of a tripledemic/quad-demic coupled with Covid— which we both had four weeks ago— and flu and RSV. But our symptoms seem mild compared to what you read about with Norovirus. OTOH maybe we just have mild cases and have been able to stay on top of staying hydrated.
Update: as of midday it's been 24 hours since I've had diarrhea. Hawk is on the mend, too. We'll see if fatigue stills hits us later today/this evening.
