So after four days of being sick, taking over-the counter herbal remedies (diapet) and even “Bali Belly Buster”(which worked for about 7 hours until 3am yesterday) also missing 2 classes, yeah I am done with this whatever it is. I went to the doctor today and missed class again but I had no energy from being up all morning in the bathroom. I’m not vomiting thank goodness but this is too inconvenient. There’s a 24hr clinic that’s down the street I believe mostly for tourists. The doctor tried to get a blood sample from my but i was not having it! So she thinks judging from frequency and symptoms I either have bacterial infection or salmonella. So I’m taking antibiotic, pro-biotic, and a stomach coater, until sunday and if the frequency of the problem persists- its off to the doctor for the blood work. She also said that my blood pressure was 90/50 which is no good soo….
Anyway I am not too worried- even from rest and today’s dosage I was at the group pool party some of the boys decided to have at the hotel. It was fun to have everyone around, and even some of the cudamani guys got in the pool (swimming and water are not really part of balinese culture, perhaps due to beliefs of water demons etc) and it was fun to be around people. We had pizza and soda which also nice to eat again (since i’ve had little ability to eat since getting sick).
So far so good, and unfortunately I’m missing out on the big temple visit tonight in our teacher’s village. This was a really good one, we’re told highly spiritual where there are special mask dances and most foreigners don’t usually get to see. So hopefully the other’s will have good stories to bring back but I know not to risk it.
