Just kidding, but BOY, will five days of high temperature help keep down the eating!! Everybody here in Paris has some kind of crummy flu that turns into something that needs antibiotics... Well, in my case, I didn't turn down the antis because I'm going to Cambodia in a few days and 1) can't afford to be ill there, and 2) will be working with kids who already have severely depressed immune systems - don't want to take them any nasty presents.

But the long and short of it is, I don't actually need to do a 5DPT now because I lost the few pounds I was planning to lose before my trip by lying around and shivering and moaning for a few days!!

Cheers...

Bonnie, I am glad that you are on the mend but what a way to lose extra pounds! I hope that you are in terrific shape for your trip. Have a safe one!

Bonnie,

Definately not the best way to loose weight and I understand about not wanting to give the children in Cambodia your illness. But please be careful yourself as your imune system is now compromised from being sick.

I shall be careful, was planning to be anyway... I'm traveling with a very savvy nurse, and the center itself is very used to visitors and has a good system for teaching us how to work with the children who have AIDS (almost all of them.)

Lots of good sleep before leaving, healthy food... I'll do what I can!

Thanks for caring...

Bonnie
