How am I doing?

I'm feeling great. I'm back at work and back to my normal self. I'm grateful for all of the prayers and kind thoughts.

Update 5 - Deck 8

More illness

My video blog is quickly becoming a sickness reporting blog. I've been down for the last 5 days with what I just found out to be amoebic dysentery. I'm on some antibiotics now and I'm doing ok. I think my body is finally starting to win its intestinal battle. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. I'll be posting a video update as soon as I can.

Adventures in malaria pills

I don't want to get malaria, but I'm starting to think that the preventative medication is worse than the illness. I've been taking one kind of pill called Doxy for the last month. I guess the little bacteria in my intestines are very fragile, because they immediately die off with every dose. No bacteria=no digestion. Need I say more? No more Doxy for me.

So yesterday I started taking a different kind call Lariam. Google it. Read all about the side effects. They weren't exaggerating. Last night I had nightmares the likes of which I had never even imagined. When I woke up at various times I found myself hallucinating zombies and terrible things. It's funny now, but last night I wasn't laughing. I was praying and sweating. I was even singing to try to keep the fear at bay. I slept with the light on all night. No more Lariam for me.

Today is a new day though. There aren't any zombies around that I can see. I'm about to go to the first meeting of a small group I started. God is good. If you are willing and able, please pray that I will have a better night tonight. Thanks.

Update 4 - My Cabin

New video soon...I hope

I seem to be having some technical difficulties here with uploading new update videos. I haven't given up yet, though.

update coming

Sorry for the delay. I've been sick for the past few days. I will try to get another video up today.
