26 August 2007

I'm on the Cryptosporidium diet! My daughter went to a preschooler pool party on Wednesday, and got pretty sick immediately after.[More:] I must have missed a spot while scrubbing after a diaper change, as I've been in bed with fever/gastrointestinal distress/nauseau since yesterday afternoon. I refuse to move more than 48 inches from a toilet. I may never take my kids swimming again.
Euwwww.

At my pool you are expected to shower before you get in the pool. I kind of like this concept.

Hope you get well soon!

Our pool has that rule too. Unfortunately, hundreds of toddlers in swim diapers chose to ignore it.

You know now i think of it I've never seen a kid of diaper age in the pool.

You, sir, do not live in Utah!

I thought you said that you were on the Cryptonomicon diet!

Get better soon!

Ah, my neighbor the retired doctor just informed me it is probably just a virus, not the dreaded parasite. The Cryptonomicon diet involves diarrhea in the Philippines and bowls of Captain Crunch.

She says regular diapers just won't do, to contain the poo.

Hah, that's funny! On a more serious note...

Craniac, I'm sorry you're not feeling well.

I think this problem is everywhere that there are public swimming pools. We have the same problem here.

Not to mention deadly amoebas in ponds. Those are the scariest of all. Unfortunately, there has already been one case and two last year that I know of around here.

The bugs, they are all around us.

Posting while sick is probably structurally the same as posting while drunk. Sorry for sharing my stories of explosive bodily fluids.

Phew! Yay! My sister has gone home. || Picking up a half-ton and walking in a circle with it
