I’m in Lima!!!
…the city where “I live” but really this year has just been a storage of my belongings because I have spent most of the time everywhere but there…I mean, here.
My last week in Arequipa was a little hectic. I had to take care of vaious things and to add to all that I got a stomach infection. The morning after various vomits and diarrhea, I got back to be (after cleaning the bathroom) and I thought to myself : the devil must be trying to laugh at me… How can I not let him? ah! Thank you God for this… now I can rest!!! 
and I sang a song of praise.
(this is a picture of me my last Sunday with pastor and friends who saved my life with their company and support and gave me a nice farewell dinner)
I followed what the doctor said (almost) I mean… a week on bland diet… I really did 4 days because I was starving, you know me… I better not tell y’all everything I ate that day…hehehe.
Hey! That Anís Najar licor really works for indigestion! (although my alcohol allergies also reacted, but nothing serious just a little red and heat on my neck and face…)
So… I was doing great! But then something was not right and I am not going to give any details…
My aunt who is almost 80 years old and has A LOT of experience and knowledge told us what I had could be caused by stress and said rice soup should help as well as drink cevada and linaza.
She was right. It helped… my symptoms went away as soon as I did what she said.
But! As much as I enjoy my new affair with an old time friend and now lover…rice… I am not going to live eating just that..oh me?! Hmm…
Sooooo I finally went to see a doctor. There are 3 options:
1.- The medicine they gave me in Arequipa didn’t work (I explained how the first cypro I took was from the US and it stopped my diarrhea inmediately but as soon as I started taking the peruvian government generic cypro… diarrhea came back for 5 days).
2.- Stress. Although if this was the cause, then my symptoms should stop now that I am home and without stress… if stress was caused during my traveling.
3.- Parasites.
So he has given me antibiotics for parasites and I have to do stool tests for 3 days (ew!!!! who’s idea was that?!) and see him again next week… and follow a diet.
Tada!
Thank you for your prayers. I have lost some weight and my face shows weakness, but nothing serious
I will have to write again because there are other fun things that have happened in my life (like a french guy with a crush on me… that’s a new country I hadn’t had interactions with before…Do you see me living in Paris? LoL)
This is my dear friends making fun of my skirt. I have been called Snowhite before but this is like the full picture with the old witch and the dwarves..he he he
