Narrative

WHILE PREPARING FOR DEP FROM COS ARPT I VOMITED ON THE RAMP AREA. IT WAS FAIRLY SUDDEN AND I HADN'T HAD SYMPTOMS PREVIOUS TO THIS EXCEPT A LITTLE LOSS OF APPETITE. ONCE I FINISHED BEING SICK I FELT 100 PERCENT BETTER. I NOTIFIED THE CAPT AND WE DISCUSSED THE SIT. I DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE OP BACK TO STL. I REASONED THAT IT SEEMED WHATEVER IT WAS THAT MADE ME SICK WAS GONE NOW SINCE I NOW FELT FINE. BOY WAS I WRONG. AN HR INTO FLT I WAS SUDDENLY SICK AGAIN. THEN RIGHT AFTER FELT BETTER AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE MY PNF DUTIES; BUT FEEL I WAS ABSOLUTELY STUPID TO HAVE FLOWN ON TO STL. I HAD NEVER HAD SYMPTOMS LIKE THIS BEFORE; BUT I LEARNED A BIG LESSON FROM THIS. THAT LESSON BEING THAT MY STOMACH CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE. I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT WAS COMING. I GOT INTO STL; THE COMPANY CALLED OUT A RESERVE AND I WENT HOME. I WAS EXTREMELY ILL FOR THE NEXT 24 HRS. I BELIEVE I MAY HAVE CAUGHT SOME SORT OF FLU. A FEVER ALSO LATER DEVELOPED. WELL; I WON'T DO THAT AGAIN! I WILL USE INFORMED JUDGEMENT NEXT TIME.
