食中毒

Thursday, May 11, 2006

This past Monday was not very fun at all. The day before we explored Ta Prohm and a few other temples interspersed with moments of eating. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I should have selected something else from the menu. Sometime around 01:00 on Monday I woke up and deposited the contents of all my Sunday meals into a plastic bag and the toilet... at the same time. The next 24 hours were spent mostly in or near a bathroom. I wouldn't have left the hotel except we were flying to Phnom Penh that day at 08:00. Yes, I was sick on the plane and in the terminal before getting on the plane.

After returning to Japan I'm still not eating normally, but at least I'm not causing myself more back spasms. Going 36 hours without anything actually in my stomach and intenstines is a disconcerting feeling. I wonder if the abdominal pain is because of that or something else.

It was either the eggs or the shrimp.
