Guess Who Got Food Poisoning, Again?
Guess who got food poisoning, again! Yep, that’s right… me!!!! I got food poisoning again for the second time in 6 months about two weeks ago.
Now, this round of poisoning wasn’t nearly as bad as the first time- no hospital. Yeah!!!! Although, there was no hospital, it was not a walk in the park. There was diarrhea, cramps, fatigue, etc. Luckily, no vomit was involved.
I, admittedly, made things worse by waiting too long to go to the doctor. I’m an American; I’m not use to going to the doctor unless I’m next to death- it’s a money thing. I can’t afford the doctor in the U.S. I have insurance here, and they actually expect you to use it. If you’re sick, go to the doctor. Nice! Anyway, I had “the trotts” for 4 days! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Hey, if your in a foreign country, especially in Asia, you’re an American, and you have diarrhea….you need to see the doctor, Stupid. Take from Stupid # 1, I know about these things.
After having gone to the doctor with my friend, and interpreter, Sydney, I was feeling better in but a few hours. It didn’t take 10 min. to get in and out of the doc’s office. He looked at me and knew right off the bat what was ailing me. I was in and out, and before I knew it, I was medicated and on the mend.
In closing, it was fun, but I think I’ll pass next time.
