Back To Normal

I'm finally feeling back to normal today. Way back on last Tuesday I came home home in the afternoon with an upset stomach and having to use the bathroom a lot. Bad timing, 'cause on Wednesday and Thursday we were planning an overnight getaway to Baños. I managed to do everything the family wanted to do, but didn't feel too good all the while. Friday I thought I was doing better. I showed up at work, forgetting that it was a holiday. I worked for the morning anyway, and then that was all I could take before going home for the afternoon. In the evening we went out to an MAF New Year's party, as well as walked through town to enjoy the festivities. But by Saturday afternoon I called one of the HCJB docs to get some medical advice. I've been on antibiotics since then, as it seemed likely that my diarhea was caused by some sort of bacteria. I was thinking of joining some friends from the States for a climb of 16,800' Iliniza Norte on Wednesday, but right now I don't think that will happen. Too little training this past week. Hmmm, guess I should have said no training. So, not a fun way to spend the holidays. Ellyn and Dustin have been up in Quito today for dentist appointments. They left at seven this morning, and should be home again in several hours.
