Once again I was up most of the night with trips to the bathroom and this morning I realized my stomach troubles were far from over. It seems everything I eat and drink within 20 minutes comes rushing out. I was feeling hungry mid morning so I made some porridge and amazingly my body seemed to hold onto it. At lunch I thought I would try some of Nyrzha's chicken soup, it went down well but within 20 minutes the diarrhea started again and got worse and worse - I am a little worried at this point that I am still not able to hold food or water and wondering what the hell to do. I spent the afternoon sleeping on and off, drinking cinnamon tea and rushing to the bathroom. I realized it was a very good idea to have postponed my Amazon trip as there was no way in the world I would have been able to get on the plane today. I guess this is the downside to travel and I am so fortunate to be in a nice, safe and warm home with someone who cares for me, I couldn't imagine being this sick all cooped up in a hostel. The rest of the day I relaxed, watched a heap of movies and ate loads of breakfast cereals like puffed wheat, quinoa and oats which my stomach seemed to thank me for. By night my diarrhea had subsided and I know now I am on the mend. Tomorrow I will rest a bit more and then I should be back to good health.
