Giardia

Kind of a lot has happened to me and Peru is probably not the problem. These things would happen to me no matter where I was. Good luck just haunts me.

But specifically, I've had a case of the get-up-and-goes, the excuse-me-immediatelies, the runs… if you would. But I suggest you don't. So after about 5 days of dealing with symptoms I decided to go into the doctor last Monday. After hours of waiting, I had become the administrator of a schedule of 5 different types of medications. I had pills, syrups, and pills. This was because I was the host of two infections. 1) Giardia… and what a treat. 2) Something else… but nothing special obviously, because I don't remember what it is.

Currently I'm on day 6-ish of taking these myriad pills and things have been looking up, and then down, and then back up again. By this point I can assure you that I'm getting better. Eventually I'll be back to 100%, or I'll be dead. Let's hope for the best.
