Dayum. Hope you're better soon Eddie! Maybe you could get yourself treated at Mary's hospital?

Two things which I guarantee will help next time you go to India:

(1) It's hokey, but do the Pepto thing. Get PeptoBismol (or generic) chewable tablets, and chew two at the start of each meal. Bismuth (the ative part of Pepto) is an excellent antibiotic/anti-parasitic: it can actually bind pathogens in the food you eat.

(2) Consider, in combination with 1, taking Malarone for malaria prophylaxis. It's a once-a-day pill, MANY fewer side effects than Larium. It's also active as an anti-parasitic in the intestine.

As a third aside, take along Cipro if you're not allergic (not allergic applies to everything I've said), and take it if you develop any diarrhea. It kills all the major intestinal pathogens as well.

I've made several forays into the third world using this regimen, and, knock on wood, have had ZERO GI symptoms. I've gotten sicker in France.

I actually took Malarone the whole time I was there. I've been taking Cipro for 48hrs when the stomach didn't clear up. I think the loss of appetite came from the Cipro and not the bug, I have an appt with a doc on Wed, in case it hasn't cleared up by then.

thanks!

Get rid of your parasites and you may.

Oh, Geez! Sorry about the stomach thing, Eddy. Congrats on your marriage, though, and glad you made it back safely!
Ben, I might try for the Duck Wed. I'll see.
(I've been known to say that before.)

Stuart, I would love to see the flute, and I don't have parasites! heehee

Anyway, I finished that stupid defensive driver's course, so I at least have some of my life back!

Alrighty guys, I'm back in H-town - wuddlit be? How's Sunday? It sounds like conceivably the best day for me. Saturday I'll probably be meeting with some pals at some point, and going to their gig that night. Friday is good too. What do y'all think? Stu, this means YOU, bucko!

Sunday's do-able. Let me know where (and DIRECTIONS!)

I'm just going to be too busy with post-wedding recovery. But I will make it next time.

Play a tune for me.

Bew hew.

Sorry nothing happened - guess it just wasn't in the cards, as it were

I'm not sure when I'll be back in town next, but hopefully soon enough.
