Looks like recovery is going to take longer than I expected...

The doctor told me to spend another week eating yogurt and Pepto Bismal.
*sigh*

Ah well. Might as well kill time by posting some more pictures.

Still in Recovery Mode...

So I've been back in America for almost a week now and am still pretty sick. What I thought was probably just my stomach re-adjusting to American food has turned into me not really being able to eat much of anything. It's frustrating because I want to get my summer in the states rolling, but haven't felt well enough to leave my house much. I'm going to the doctor today though, and hopefully they'll give me some sort of super-sonic antibiotic, or at least something that will make eating a lightly buttered piece of toast more enjoyable.

Reasons why I should get better really soon?

- Camp Hope is in two weeks (my camp name this year is "Papyrus." Watch Lauren become obsessed with all things Egyptian...)
- My band (Original Sound Trash - the non-metal one) has a show in July and needs to practice! (We're rockin Portland's Ash Street Saloon, I'm stoked!)
- My band also has a new drummer on the horizon that needs to be debriefed/examined
- Unofficial rumor has it that I will be returning to my old job at the Boring fruit stand soon (hey, as the Egyptians say, "No money no honey no money no funny!")
- My dad is a brilliant cook and it's killing me to be in a house full of really good food and only eat strawberry yogurt

And that's just the short list.

Ah well. I'm sure I'll be better soon enough. I guess I should have known that 3 weeks in a country with few health and safety regulations would catch up to me.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Egypt, but it's kinda gross how stray cats just hang out in the restaurants and occasionally try to jump on you...

No wonder I'm sick.
