This makes me feel better...

I realized in the Canadian Airport that I had not finished my Hepatitis vaccines. Whoops. Talk about just a little too late. I was researching Hepatitis this morning, figuring that I should know more about my new worst enemy. It didn't really help that I saw this list on Wikipedia. Hepatitis in China, it would have it's own category. 

I really don't want to get severely sick in this country, Matt and I were sick last weekend (leave it to other countries to break down my superior immune system, the last time I was sick was our Honeymoon in Mexico) and it was terrible! Since we go out to eat for almost every meal, we almost died of starvation. We had oatmeal in the house... and that was it! Luckily, we made it until we were well enough to make the trek to Dico's, french fries never tasted sooo good. 

Just a couple of random notes from our time being ill:
Mr. Beard called to check on us (because we called in sick for school, something I have never done before) and he wanted to know 'is it a cold or H1N1?', apparently those were the only two options. 

Nights were bad... I remember one night deliriously crawling through the living room back into our bedroom. Not so fun.

So, I'm supposing you had tummy sickness, right?

there were a few times that I crawled around my apartment sick too.

They told me it was appendicitis so at least they weren't trying to remove any of your organs. I literally was like, "NO! I'm okay! Please don't take my appendix!"

To cure my appendicitis they decided to give me penicillin (b/c of course that's going to cure my dying organs). But it did kill whatever microb had taken residence in my tummy.

Well, Matt can die on us, but Kristal, I need another music video before you can die.

Wait, we don't want either one of them to die on us. Probably it was dirt in the chicken feet or head ? Don't let them take you into a hospital. You might lose more than appentics...or they might sell you into white slavery.
