Hello again, I'm feeling some Deja Vu with the recent rumblings in my tummy and this kickin' headache I've got brewing...just like when I was really sick right after I got here in September. I've been put on watch overnight and will go to the Doctor in the morning...they call it a nursing home here, and my teacher was joking with me that she was going to send me away to the nursing home, and I was laughing and telling her I was too young for all that! Seriously though I'm tired of always seeing the consequences of my actions related to my gastric output. I'm thinking that since I've been feeling this stomach stuff for the last 6 days (it wasn't bad until this evening) I've probably picked up some little parasitic bug or have a little stomach virus. I just cannot wait to feel better and not have to limit my activities because I'm worried I'll be too far from a bathroom!
For now I'm keeping my fluid intake up and having lots of R.H.S. (Re-hydration salts)to stay hydrated. I just have big plans for this weekend to volunteer with Jacqueline in the slums here in Bangalore and I know that I won't be up for it if I don't figure this stuff out right away! I also want to get better so I can get my appetite back, I have had no interest in food since Thanksgiving and it's starting to become oddly irritating to not want to eat anything. I'm only craving Tomato soup, chicken noodle soup, and from time to time some Challah with melted Mozzarella Cheese and Tomatoes on it! Mmmmm okay maybe i'm a little hungry. I'm also really missing bagels, lox and cream cheese. Someone was telling me of this place you can go and find them but they're not very good, and way overpriced....and cream cheese is not found. So unless it's a cinnamon raisin bagel I'll be craving cream cheese!
Anyway, just wanted to keep everyone posted on my status. I will let you know how it all turns out after I get back from the doc. tomorrow! Missing western medicine and homemade chicken soup....
