OMG...I didn't think that I'd get sick this fast but, it's here. The dreaded GI upset. These are less than ideal bathroom conditions for stomach problems. But I learned to deal with it real quick, not that I really had a choice. It came with a vengeance in the middle of the night. I was also sweating and tachy. All I could think of was everything about this place that screams infectious disease. BLeeeehhh. I think thinking of that
made me even more sick. I didn't sleep very well at all. After I dosed myself with the triple threat (Imodium, pepto, pepcid) washed down with Gatorade I was able to rest a bit. Definitely not 100% this morning, but slight improvement. Sarita also made me a special drink that would help. It was basically hot water
with a little bit of spice, sugar and salt. I just feel drained because I wasn't drinking a ton of water in
the first place because people here drink tea ALL the time. If anything it's given me time to update this. (I write and copy and paste to the blog when I can) Other than that I did a lot of reading, showed the fam how to play a game on my laptop and attempted to learn how to dance again. Shamiksha is an awesome dancer and is so excited to teach me synchronized dancing. I am pretty terrible, but but she's patient with me. So far she's taught me a Nepali dance and now she's energetically choreographing something to Jai Ho.
In return I'm teaching her how to use my camera. She loves it and caught on quick. She's got an eye. Sometimes we'll just walk around the village and take pictures. By the end of the day my stomach was 95% better and I was able to eat. Today was the first day I stayed home for the ENTIRE day.
It was kind of hard. Really makes me appreciate everything I have at home. From the basic stuff to relationships and entertainment.
