denWe wish you a merry christmas
We fish you a merry messmass
We mish you a cherry mixmass
Oh I stuffed up the words!
The little cryptospirosis protozoans have decided to stay for Christmas. The doctor has put me on a "Proton Pump Inhibitor" which is actually a small pill and not the huge piece of high-tech machinery it sounds like.
*SFX* CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! FWEEEEEEEEEEE! BANG! gurglegurglegurle
"What the hell is that?
"It's my Proton Pump Inhibitor!" TOO! TOOT!
Hopefully it will let me keep my food down long enough to get some digestion going. It's looking good; last night I had some lasagna which stayed down. This morning I feel so good I might go for a second piece of toast and vegemite. After a week of living on Powerade and tea there is now 7kg less Den than there was when I came back from Europe. The trick is to keep it off when I finally evict the cryptos.

I've just discovered chicken broth works, and next step is to try leek-and-onion soup. What annoys me the most is that we have kilograms of seafood to get through tomorrow and it'll be wasted on me.
*the Aussie Vegemite secret we don't tell you Yanks because it's funny watching you Yanks try to eat it like peanut butter.

A *pill*? What a letdown.....I'm sure whatever it's supposed to kill will do the equivalent of scream, fall over and die, and the happy t-cells will do the victory dance and the antibodies will thence go home for a nice rest.
Hopefully there will be no need for aerial photography!
Sorry to hear you're still bugged:(!
Die, bug, die!

I was ill most of December, but came good in early January. I'm mostly over it now.
