sheesh

Forget anything I wrote about going to Vilcabamba or Bob Marley tributes this past weekend. I spent Thursday night through this morning in bed (apart from teaching Friday), sick as a dog! I won´t go into specifics of symptoms because surely you don´t want to hear the gross details, but at the least, from what my mom says I had a strong case of gastroenteritis aka food poisoning. Waking up sore on Thursday morning was only the beginning. Thankfully, I´m feeling quite better today. I´m glad my mom is a nurse. She called me every day to check up on me and gave me advice, told me to eat only bread and other bland foods, which I have been doing.... I´m going to try to work so hopefully I can make it through without keeling over and eh hem, running out of the classroom to the bathroom. You get the picture. Anywho.... I missed out on going out for Charles´ birthday Thursday night, the Bob Marley tribute at Casa Tinku on Friday, work on Saturday morning, and the party that we hosted in our apartment on Saturday night. What a lousy weekend... I decided that if  I don´t get 100% better or something goes wrong in the next few days, I´m just going to go home. It´s not worth it being here and getting sick all the time. Understandably most of it is food related, which is unavoidable and can happen at home, but definitely not to the scale and frequency that I´ve dealt with it here.

Hope you all had a good weekend.... and here´s to hoping I fully recuperate and don´t have to fly back home anytime too soon.
