Parasites

So...

Round 2 of the bloodwork came in:

Blastocystis hominis

Parasite in my intestine.

Extremely low folid acid.

Probably due to my little microscopic friends.

Think that's bad enough???....

"We are going to put you on some antibiotics but I must warn you - YOU MUST NOT DRINK FOR 10 DAYS - this will make you violently ill and you may have to be hospitalized!!!" Nurse.

"Can I start it after the weekend - I am going to Islamorada and the only thing that is there is a Tiki Hut and I HAVE to drink!" Me.

"Let me consult with the Doctor - you must understand how important this is and how you must go on these meds!!!" Nurse.

"I understand - but it's not like these critters haven't been living in there for a while - so....Can I at least have my last hurrah? You can't just drop something on me like that..No drinking..I must prepare for this!!!" Me.

Doctor totally understands - but I must go on these by Tuesday. So...Farewell to my little friends.

I know this had nothing to do with my back - but heck - might as well fix everything while we can!!!
