Someone please explain this to me. Brian gets a bacteria infection just a few days after we arrived to Jakarta...not one ounce of illness and he lost 8 pounds. I get sick with a bacteria infection and I am sick to the point that I need 4 IV bags to re-hydrate and five days of being laid out on the couch. Seriously...SERIOUSLY??
So everyone has seen all the facebook comments and I appreciate everyone writing to make sure I'm ok. Long story short (but actually it'll be long). Woke up at 1am on Friday AM sick. The 'take your pillow and lay down on the bathroom floor' sick. And I know what everyone is thinking...how could Natalie possibly lay down on a bathroom floor if she is OCD. I'll have you know that there were a lot of anti-bacterial wips involved before laying down.
Took a fun field trip to the med unit on Friday where I received 4 bags of IV and some antibiotics to kill whatever illness was infecting my insides. Five days and one season of 'Vampire Diaries' later, I am feeling better but not great. Still trying to get rid of this annoying fever that accompanied this infection. Thankfully tomorrow is a holiday for us so I have one "free" day left to get better before I need to get back to work.
Thank you everyone for the concerns and well wishes. Brian and Ranger have been taking good care of me.
Oh, and I titled this the "Jakarta Diet" because that is what everyone refers to this lovely illness on the island.
