Hell’s Half Acre

We spent yesterday working on Jamie’s medical issues because (awww…) my recommended doctor was out healing the poor. 
We headed to Star Medica, which was a journey of its own.  We got lost at least 3 times, stopped at a Comex (paint) store to get directions where the guy even drew me a map [...]

Just a quick update – we’re not going to Merida until this weekend.  We just couldn’t get everything organized in time and figured it would be better, in the event that Jamie will require surgery (and I would require a brain transplant ha ha), to be there at the beginning of the week.  So sue [...]

We’re so incredibly black humoured.  Jamie and I have been sitting on our collective hands (not literally – that would just be weird) doing nothing about his ass thing and about my head thing.  So today I took him to the doctor.  We went to the general doc ($28USD) who said, “hey you have a [...]

I have lots of excuses; I’ve been trying to get all kinds of “stuff” to Natalie’s sister so she can bring it down to us (mostly books), I’ve been trying to figure out what other materials I want to get (we’re finishing up World History and moving on to Ancient Cultures), obsessively checking the weather [...]

Jamie has caught the tummy bug that has managed to pass itself around here regardless of the fact that we interact with few people. We really must be living in a petri dish to constantly be picking up these bugs without having contact to infect us. Since he was under the weather and [...]

What an ABSOLUTE Farking headache! I’ve been at this since early yesterday and I’m still not absolutely certain it is fixed. My one saving grace is that I ALWAYS button down the files on my server. They are ALL and ALWAYS set to 0644 (file permissions) and 0755 (directory). So no [...]

He’s got chicken soup on the stove, just cranked the stereo and is hip thrusting to “Burning Down the House” and he knows All The Lyrics. He’s cooking up grilled cheese with the Amish cheese and bread we bought yesterday and while he is doing NOTHING the way *I* would do it, but he’s [...]

It has really been an awful week. Jamie and I got a weird back thing (I think mine was started by badly done yoga) that put both of us prone on the bed for a couple days. Luciklly, we were able to stagger the days we were down. I have stopped doing [...]

We saw a different doctor today for Jamie. We were really in some kind of limbo not knowing what should be done. The one doc said to get parasite test, PSA and maybe colonscopy and did little on the examining side. All those tests (except the colonoscopy) were negative and the doc [...]

Every time I post about our intestinal upsets in Mexico I feel like I’m single-handedly destroying the tourist economy. Even the lab technician said that to avoid parasites, you pretty much have to never eat out. Even then…
So, yeah, I have not only parasites (E Histolytica to be specific) but a raging case [...]
