Day 6
>
> April 16, 3:40 pm, Vellore
> India struck back today. The honeymoon is over. Not a good day at
> all. Last night at dinner I had started feeling a little rumbly and
> used the bathroom. I went again when we got back to the hotel and it
> was a little softer. When I started to worry, though, is when it
> woke me up in the middle of the night and I had to go. Very watery.
> Sorry if this is too much detail, this is what we talk about here.
> How's your stool? Anyway, I was feeling pretty bad when I got up to
> get ready this morning and had another watery one.
>
> I decided maybe I ought to try to knock it out quick since we were
> planning on taking the bus out to mamalapuram this afternoon. So I
> went and bought 10 tabs of cipro down the street for a mere Rs 40.
> However, I kept feeling worse and worse when I was outside in the
> heat and everything. Very nauseated. It was aweful. I didn't make it
> back to the hotel before it came up. So I sat there and hurled on
> the side of the road. It was awesome let me tell you.
>
> I came back, took 500 mg of cipro and 4 mg of loperamide but I think
> the cipro was really rough on my stomach. I kept it down for about
> an hour then vomited again. Then again and again. I had nothing left
> but kept heaving. Oh man I hate throwing up. Getting all sweaty and
> feeling like you are going to die. It sucks. I'd rather have
> diarrhea any day. As long as I'm by a toilet anyway. Haha.
>
> So anyway, I've been here at the hotel sleeping and watching animal
> planet an feeling awful all day. I'm starting to feel like I'm
> getting better though, so hopefully... I haven't thrown up for a few
> hours.
>
> Well that's the news here. Hope things are better in your neck of
> the woods, wherever you are, reader.
>
> 10:00 pm
> Well I'm feeling much better than I was this morning. That's not
> saying much, but I'll take what I can get. I slept so much today and
> know the girls are asleep and I'm not feeling very tired. I think I
> can still fall asleep though.
>
> I didn't throw up anymore today... none since like 11:30 this
> morning. My stomach is still feeling somewhat more rumbly tonight
> though, and I had some more diarrhea. Here's hoping it finished up
> quick. I ate nothing today.
>
> Okay I'm going to close for the night.
