In the night last night I began to notice that my abdomen felt very uncomfortable. Finally, I got up to see if there was a problem with my bowels, and, indeed, there was -- I had diarrhea. At least it wasn't of the uncontrollable sort. I thought that I might have trouble with my stomach, too, but, so far, I haven't.
I called Berlitz first things to take a sick day, which I was reluctant to do, since I was scheduled to teach 12 units today (9 hours). Later in the morning, they called me back because they couldn't find anyone to replace on any of the lessons. Apparently this means that I will have to teach all these people some other time for FREE (compensation lessons), which seems a little unfair to me.
I haven't really felt good all day, although I didn't have that much diarrhea. However, my abdomen still hurts, and my throat also feels swollen. Ibuprofen seems to help a little with the latter. I only ate a few crackers, in the afternoon, but even that didn't feel very good in my stomach. I never felt nauseated, though, thankfully.
I've already sent Berlitz an e-mail telling them that I'll be taking tomorrow off, as well.
