This week was a very tough week for me. I got food poisoning from a greasy hamburger I ate. This might sound very dangerous for some of you, but I'm so used to pain that is as if I can control it. I don't want to sound "macho," but it is the reality of my life. Back in 2006 I contracted a bacteria from drinking water from the sink without a filter. To kill this bacteria I have to drink a lot of antibiotics that could harm my liver, so since this bacteria could be controlled by my diet then I decided to not take medicine for it. The problem is that I love burgers and brownies, but if the burger contains too much fat then I get very sick, which is what happened last Tuesday evening. Since I have a weakness for burgers, I have suffered many times from food poisoning.
The experience was very painful and the aftermath of this incident is to have a fiber rich diet containing mostly liquids. After all, this time it wasn't all bad since I got to know how Florida's hospitals work. Unlike NYC hospitals, in Florida, at least in Boca, hospitals don't make you wait that much to help you out. Hospitals here are very clean as well. I have to say, that compared to other countries where I have been injured and taken to the hospital US hospitals need to step their game up, but nevertheless I am impressed by how fast they reacted to my needs and the fact that the doctors didn't push me out of the hospital like they do in NYC.
