Wex vs the virus, round 2

Or, "Why do you have 2.5lb of barium in your intestines?"

Short form: I'm OK. At home today so I can be close to a bathroom if needed, and can contemplate solid food. Like, maybe toast. Maybe.

Long form...
( Cute for slightly graphic details and general long-windedness )

I managed a good sleep last night and I feel worlds better today. I'm contemplating solid food now, though I haven't made any commitments. The biggest question, which the doc really couldn't tell me, was why the symptoms this time around were so radically different than the last bout. If I really needed to know they might be able to get a stool sample and culture something or other but.. meh. She wrote me a scrip for Cipro, which is what I used last time to kill off the infection. Once my digestion is even halfway back to normal I'll start on that. Meanwhile, the tech did warn me that this stuff "tends to go right through you." Yep, that it does...

As an aside: apologies to people whose events I missed on Saturday. I was feeling run down and not in a party mood. In retrospect I was almost certainly contagious so while missing parties is suckfull, giving this virus to someone else would be REALLY the pits. I take some consolation from that.
