Stuff
Sunday, 04 May 2008
Hey all,

Sorry for being MIA for the past few days. I'm not in Ireland yet (we'll be driving to the Bay Area this morning, and flying out of SFO tomorrow). It wasn't the silly karma issues that drove me off for a while, either.

I went to ER last Monday complaining of stomach cramps - 6 hours later, I was diagnosed with a mild case of diverticulitis. Nice.

It was one of those things where the ER Doc on duty caught it early enough to treat it without too much issue. Essentially throwing a couple of antibiotics and some vicodin at it. But I was also on a liquid diet for three days and I'm just now starting to eat solid food again (scrambled eggs for breakfast, this morning). With that and the vicodin and the antibiotics, I was too tired and weak to do much of anything besides work and sleep, let alone raise a ruckus on these sites. :)

Anyway, I'm better today. I may be blogging/posting stuff I wrote from our hotel in Dublin. Stay tuned.

Best,

Helen

I have a chronic case of the dreaded intestinal ailment, and my symptoms are much worse than yours. I get cramps, have some troubles in the bathroom, and other things I won't go into. 
I'm waiting for my health insurance to kick in before I get the full treatment of antibiotics, etc. Been on the liquid diet (it sucks, as you well know), and got so hungry I might have been hallicinating. I'm concentrating on "smooth food" for now. 
Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery, though. I hope to be soon. 
On the travel front, I hope you have a great time in Dublin. It really is true, what they say, about "don't drink the water". Go for the bottled stuff. Or better yet, a pint of the local brew! Much better than anything coming out of the tap. 
Great regards.

I don't fancy any of that. Hope you're both improving and that you get to enjoy your trip, Helen. The two festivals I mentioned earlier were both on the weekend just passed, so I'd ask around to see if anything else is happening. 
 
Have a relaxing trip
