For the past two and one-half days, I have had symptoms that resemble jet lag along with very bad diarrhea. So I have hung out at the house trying to re cooperate...only instead of getting better, I was going the other direction. The wake-up call was last evening when I was having severe chilling in 92 degree heat. So when I arrived home from the associational picnic, I took my temperature: It was 101 degrees under my arm. After two doses of ibuprofen, this morning it was 99.5 degrees under my arm. After going to my doctor early this morning, she said this is not jet lag: It is either a bacterial or parasite infection. "You got it from the water or from the food you ate:" (it has an incubation period).
So off to the drug store I went to get Metronidazol 500mg tab and Ciprofloxacn500mg tab to attempt to combat this "bug." She said come back and see me Friday if you are not better and we'll do some tests. Also , eat a bland diet...darn, no green peppers! So until then, I guess hanging out at the house won't be too bad. I am just thankful that it happened on my home turf. It would have been difficult to share Jesus when I can't get very far from the porcelain goddess!

Hey, I told you to bring Bug home, not A bug...you just have to do it your way, right???
Oh dear now Lila is starting to crack bad jokes like Lanny. It's all down hill from here folks. Love ya'll. Glad you're home Lanny, "bug" and all.
Lanny... sometimes you share a bit too much info... but I am sorry you are sick. Get better soon, ok?
Actually, if you want, I could share more, Grace...I do feel better, finally.
I just logged on to see if you guys made it in okay. I too have picked up something in Romania. I have been running a high fever and having night sweats since the day I arrived in the States. My doctor believes I am having a systemic reaction to the bug bites I received at the hotel. He prescribed some antibiotics and they seem to be doing the trick. Anyway, I had a blast with you guys and I will let you know when I get our blog up and running.
Zach, your symptoms are very similar to mine...what I bit got me, what bit you got you! Good to hear from you, hope you get better soon, keep in touch...(aka. perhaps get a blog?).
