Hepatitis

Well, there's a perfectly good explanation for the upset stomach. I have a self curing form of hepatitis. Most likely it's Hep E as I have an immunization for Hep A. Jaundice is a sign of hepatitis and so I have that as well.
I have had some tests to confirm it and will find out if it is A or E very shortly. However, both go away on their own in time and it takes about 2-3 weeks of real rest.
So, I have been sleeping and laying about in my apartment for a few days. I'll have to give myself some projects so that I don't get really bored. Basically, I feel slightly nauseous all of the time and very lathargic and sleepy. Any sudden movement increases the nausea so I just need to move slowly for awhile.
It's a great opportunity to catch up on reading and computer projects. It's tricky not to be able to excersise but I think I'll get strength back slowly and will be able to do bits here and there in my apartment.
As of now, I have no idea what my students will do for 2 to 3 weeks. That's a long time!!! AND, it's their money that they have invested in this program. I'm brain storming some projects to give them from afar. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear it.
Take care y'all, will write again and tell you all about the Indian medical system before too long:)
