So what would a trip to Mexico be without a little bacteria? Saturday I had a bad stomach ache all day, Sunday I felt feverish and queasy all day, and by Monday night I was miserable. I called the Roys (the family that takes me to church) and they took me to Hospital San Javier. A nice place, and there were a couple doctors who speak English; between those guys and Amber Roy, I was able to understand everything that was going on.
Turns out I ate some cheese or milk last week that had the bacteria brucella in it; I stayed in the hospital Monday and Tuesday night. I've kept down 3 whole slices of turkey and some jello, so that's improvement since Saturday. I can't eat milk or cheese products for the next 15-30 days (depending on how I'm doing) and I will be on a 6-week course of antibiotics.
