it's an amoeba!

Grady came home from class this morning, flung open the door and said, "Good morning my little pooper trooper!" How sweet.
I'm laying on the couch, still sick. It's now been eight days of stomach cramps, nausea and severe diarrhea. After consulting with one of his professors, Grady told me the consensus is that I have an amoeba (amoebic dysentery), probably from consuming contaminated vegetables or water. Grady's comment: "You reap what you sow" (referring to my eating of vegetables). Ha!
Moral of the story here: if I would just eat ketchup and bologna sandwiches like Grady, I wouldn't be in this predicament. :-)
Grady purchased metronidazole (you don't need a precription here to buy medicine) and I should be feeling better in a few days.
Grady is absolutely incredible and has taken such good care of me. He is going to make a wonderful doctor!
Thank you for your prayers regarding my health.
