update on my health

This is just to quell some worried minds (mostly mom's) and just inform you guys on yet another part of my experience whilst here.

This afternoon Mark started feeling ill as well, and i guessi haven't felt horrible all day, but really really gassy, ha. So steve was taking him to the clinic and i opted to go as well (there you go mom, probably the first time i've gone to the doctor at a sign of illness in a long time). Well after some tests we foudn out i didnt have malaria or worms (although i thought as long as it wasn't going to be any worse since it's very curable if foudn in time, that it woudl be cool to go back and say i got malaria, i suppose the mothers among you would be to differ, but im sure others of you can understand perfectly). The doctors we talked to were a man and woman from Israel who were both Jewish working at a Christian clinic (they thought it odd as well) but they were very friendly people, and they agreed with my initial diagnosis that it was food poisoning of some kind, perhaps viral or bacterial, but they gave me antibiotics to be safe. I want to say the pills are called something like "flagella" or soemthign like that, not really sure, but they're supposed to have an analgesic effect which is never a bad thing.

Here's to hoping i get a little less gassy since i opted to eat dinner tonight after not eating anything but bread or fanta (i've fallen in love with orange soda!) in the past 48 hours. and for that matter feeling alot better tomorrow morning after another good night's sleep.


i'll leave you with whatever random goofy pictures i can find on the harddrive...







This is me right as i walked into the office after having been rained on alot, i also have my backpack under my jacket, anyways i felt i looked wholly ridiculous and i figured so would you guys, so enjoy...
