Attila's Revenge

I came down with a bit of stomach bug yesterday. I'm a little bummed because I had to miss the end of the week "dance" and then the trip to Budapest and Kecsekemet this weekend. I basically stayed in my room most of the afternoon and evening yesterday and today. Among various other symptoms, I had the chills, cramps, and a fever - I had this strange experience of being really hot on a hot day and not sweating at all. And then when I took an advil, I would suddenly lose the fever and start sweating profusely. Needless to say I've been keeping myself well-hydrated.

Really, all I've wanted to do was sit around and read a good fantasy novel. Luckily I have one, thanks to the recommendation of Adam Schive. (Props to you!!!)

I'm feeling a little better, thanks to a prescription of Cipro that I was lucky enough to have recommended to me by the travel nurse at Harvard before I left.

I think it is because I have been drinking the water served at the cafeteria since I've come to Debrecen. I usually have been very careful about drinking only bottled water when I've been around these parts. But for some reason I thought perhaps the water they would serve here would be filtered for us "foreign guests" at the university. Unh unh. So, bottled water from now on!!!
