The quack says....
Jul. 4th, 2005 05:30 pmWent to the quack this morning, very fearful that my sphincter control would not be very good. Managed to get there and home without an accident.
The quack said that she thought I most likely had caught giardia. However, she needed a stool sample (which I provided later) for lab tests. I persuaded her to give me the antibiotic for giardia; after the lab report, she might change the antibiotic to one more suited to whatever parasite I've picked up. Let's hope that she got it right this time as she says that I should be feeling better within 24 hours if she is right.
Meanwhile, I've had a good conversation with the other course presenter and it looks like we may be doing some more work--thankfully in the UK at first, so that I don't pick up any unwanted guests.
