Not good...

Lauren and I got food poising from eating at McDonald's on Sunday night. We're doing better now but we both still have fevers and body aches so we're staying home today. We were on our way back from Carmel when we decided to grab a hamburger around 7pm...big mistake!!!!

I took photos while in Carmel but I haven't felt well enough to upload them yet.

  15. Oh Cindy, so sorry to hear this. McDonald's - big mistake! LOL but not really.

    I can't wait to see your Carmel photos though. My friends who rent a house in Carmel each summer phoned me this morning. They spent two months in Carmel and now are driving along the Oregon coast. Terri called me from the Hallmark Resort in Cannon Beach as she described her view from the room. As I'm in triple digit heat in Phoenix, she was experiencing the sound of the ocean with a cool breeze. Go figure! But I even enjoyed looking this place up on the internet and seeing the photos. I could use my imagination and pretend I was there.

    I pray that you and your daughter feel better very soon.

  17. I hope you feel better very soon. I think you should report this to the McDonalds manager and also the health department.

  18. Poor girls! It's horrible when everyone is sick at once! I like to keep charcoal capsules on hand. They asorb poisions pronto but sometimes, it's just too late!

    Hope you both feel better soon! ♥

  19. Did you call the McDonalds you ate at ? if not call the Health Department. There is a reason you got it, and others will suffer the same.


    On the other side. Take it easy. Nothing is so important that it can't wait till tomorrow.

  29. Feel better soon! I cannot imagine what food poisoning from McD's looks like....

  30. Poor thing. Drink lots of fluid if you can to keep from getting dehydrated. Hope you are up and better soon. I have had it twice in the past 5 years and it can really knock the wind out of your sales. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Carol

  31. Hope you're both feeling better soon Cindy. We've got the flu here today. Hope all the guests we had for labor day don't get it! Carmel sounds wonderful...and cool!

  32. Cindy, I feel bad for you and Lauren. I've never had food poisoning (thank goodness!) but I'm sure you are miserable. Please take care!

    I do hope you will report this ASAP to the local health dept. (or whatever agency follows up on "dirty dining" in your area) so they can investigate this McDonald's food handling practices. Surely others are bound to become ill if they don't correct the problem.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh my! There is not much worse than experiencing food poising. It took me a week to get back to normal after my last. MIL turkey....I only thought she loved me. Get to feeling better and may God Bless ya'll.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh my, I am sorry to hear of your horrid experience. Wishing you prayers for total recovery!

    And I'd add that your experience should be shared with the proper food handling authorities, in case there is a bigger problem that needs sorting out. I know, my hubby used to be a public health inspector.

  35. So sorry to hear you got food poisoning. It's pretty nasty isn't it? Hope you're felling better today.

  37. I am sorry to hear you and Lauren suffered from food poisoning. Glad to hear you are on the mend. I certainly hope you called the McDonald's you ate at and/or the health department and filed a complaint.

    I am looking forward to seeing your pictures of Carmel when you are feeling well enough to post them.

  40. Cindy, I am so sorry to hear that, I hope you and your sweet daughter will be feeling well very soon. Hugs, Cindy S.

  41. Be sure to let McDonald's know asap...there are probably other people sick and the center for disease control likes to keep track of these things. I was so sick with food poisoning 3 years ago and ended up in the hospital for four days so be careful and watch for signs of dehydration! Get well soon!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Cindy, I knew something was wrong. You've never been away for so long without explanation. So sorry to hear you are sick. I'm just glad to hear that you are both on the mend.

    Take your time, get well, we'll all be here when you're feeling up sharing again.

  43. Cindy; I am so sorry too hear that you and your daughter are so sick... I hope you get well soon. I have had food poison before and it is awful. My Prayers are with you both.

  45. Oh Bummer! I had that on August 30th. Went to a BDay party for one of the Grands & YUCK! We called it food posioning but, it could have been "the disease of the week" from one of MANY children at the party. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Been there, done that - not fun at all. (although I still don't know where mine came from and I was the only one in the family that got sick!)
    Hope you feel better soon.

  49. Yuk... Hope you're both feeling better soon... no fun at all.

    Carmel is one of my favorite places. Whenever my mom would come out to CA we'd drive down to Carmel and Monterey, do the 17 mile drive, go to Clint Eastwood's Hog's Breath Inn... All the stuff my mom loved... Just that one word - Carmel - brings back so many lovely memories. Looking forward to your photos! ...Donna

    Oh Cindy, that is awful. Hope
    you and Lauren are feeling much
    better! I agree with the others
    that you should let McDonalds
    know....also, maybe the health
    department. Food poisoning is
    absolutely the pits. Did you
    both eat the same?? It's pretty
    scary when you can't even eat
    at a McDonalds without getting
    sick.

    Feel better soon.

  67. You need to report it to the Health department... the location/time, what you ate etc. They take that information and depending on how many people get sick and report it...sometimes they put it on the news to notify the community-- and obviously, they do an inspection of the place.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Dear Cindy,
    I hope( by now) you both are doing much better! Wishing you rest and hoping that tomorrow finds you both back on your feet again!

  70. Hate to be the 'nag' here, but fevers don't accompany food poisoning, instead stomach flu....Sadly I have had both.
