Weeks 4 & 5...ugh

I have been very absent from kung fu, and everywhere actually, last week and it seems like I will be for a while longer. I am extremely sick right now, after waiting for my test results most of the week it was confirmed on Friday that I have cryptosporidium. Sounds wonderful right? Think of the worst stomach flu you've had in your life and up the cramps by 100%, then pretend it's been going on for 11 days. Yuck.
So it's a protozoa and I got it from working in the isolation ward with sick calves. So this thing has to run it's course, antibiotics don't do anything,. The problem is I can hardly eat or drink, I've lost 20lbs in ten days. Honestly I'm feeling scared to lose more weight and that this is never going to end. I'm so weak that walking to the bathroom from my bed leaves me breathless and my heart racing. I've gone to the hospital for IV fluids a couple of times now which helps, I just wake up every day hoping today is the day I'll feel better. I've been able to keep up with reading the blogs at least. I know this is all really gross and I wasn't going to post about it but I don't want to fall behind in journalling and this is whats going on right now. So that's where I am everyone, I don't know when I'll be back, hopefully I turn a corner here soon.

    Now that is what I call being sick. That little flu that us common folk get would be like a walk in the park for you. Get better soon :)

    Get well soon, and make sure to take it easy after you get over being sick. I cant even imagine being that ill.
