memoires of an invalid

 

so I'm sick. like really sick.  like, i haven't been to work in a week sick.  i went to the international health clinic here in town on Wednesday and it appears that I have "an amoeba." Or try 100,000 amoebas all trying to eat out my insides.

so the doctor put me on Flagyl, which really should go down as the worst medicine in history...if not for the horrible headaches it gives you, than for the fact that my tongue feels like its been wrapped in tin foil and of course, being the incessant googler that I am... I looked up amoebas and found this article about giant brain-eating amoebas!  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21034344/

i should be back among the living in about a week.... but man. I'm never eating salad in this country again.

amoebic dysentery? ugh, that's awful. i remember this from ninth grade h.s.: a lot of the black slaves died of that on the way over from west africa during the days of american slave trading. they called it "the bloody flux".

i hope you feel better soon, cat!

Many prayers for you. Hopefully you'll be back to your chipper self...very soon. =)
