Dr. Feelgood!
I was able to get into the doctor today, a day earlier than expected thanks to some calls by the USAC program directors. It was a fairly comical experience with the doctor's poor english and my poor spanish combined. This was highlighted by his diagnosis in which he said in a regretful manner, "You have...I don't know how to say this..." This is a quote that you never want your doc to say as it is undoubtedly followed by shocking and terrible news. He sat for almost a minute frowning as I sat in horror before he explained to me in Spanglish that I hae a bacteria infection. Needless to say I was fairly relieved to find out that I don't have the Avian Bird Flu and will be healthy in less that six days, hooray for modern medicine!

Well, did he give you something or will it just take its run through you and then go away? Anyway, that is an experience you could use in a movie but no one would believe it actually happened!
He gave me antibiotics and some mystery medicines. Already have huge improvement and am feeling much better, woohoo!
Be careful of Mystery Medicines. Make sure that you do not glow in the dark at night. We are so glad that you are feeling better and will be one to more entertaining adventures, although I have told several people about your extremely funny doctor episode. Here the seasons are changing and it is getting rather cold, by seasons I mean the change from summer to Brian's Birthday Month! Hard to believe you have been gone for over a month already. One question...would you ever live in Chile permanently?
I told the other teachers in the faculty lounge (even those who don't know me OR you) about this episode and they cracked up. Though we are all very ,very concerned about these "feelgood" drugs
Yes! Finally the topic of teacher break room chatter, it only took me being removed from high school for a few years.
