Ugh

Hey, well I'm sick and I won't go into all the gross details. Last night was the sickest I've ever been and now I think I have an idea why.

I've been eating shit, crap, junk and anything that would fuck up my digestive system. I wrote down a list of foods to help it out, and a list that harms it. I shouldn't eat fatty foods, dairy, surgar free stuff, certain veg like beans, cabbage, onion and should avoid booze, caffine and carbonated drinks.

I've been eating western food for most of my trip, nothing wrong with that, but the bad stuff, fried chicken, greasy burgers and foods with a higher fat percentage. Plus since I've been eating out, restaurant food is known to be higher in fats, salts, etc as those make food taste amazing. I looked at my diet before I got sick. I woke up and had greasy pancakes, then had some nescafe expresso. Coka-Cola in Vietnam is in bottles, like they were in the 60's in Canada and I wanted to send a six pack home. I had 3 after breakfest and before lunch. I did try to eat some greens as I was having digestive trouble but I ate pretty much all the greens that are on this list of NOT TO HAVE haha. Topping it all off, I had a huge fat slice of fatty and dairy filled cheese cake. I got home and my digestive system exploded, finally taking enough abuse and giving it back to me. Looking back to the other meals I remember they were fatty (KFC, burgers), had lots of dairy (milkshakes, ice cream) and had been drinking beer and almost every meal caffine or carbonated drinks, but still had water in between meals as it's hot. I know not alone this would make you sick, so I think there's another factor at work, but all this shit had an effect on me.

I'm doing a lot better now and my only problem is washroom related. Like the good Doc I play on weekends I've documented everything, when I sleep, when I go, when I eat and anything else that might be important. The longest I've left my room was 9 minutes. As I'm regularly sick I'm more or less stuck here waiting to be sick again, but I left to grab something to eat, something I can just grab at the store and come back home and as it was Circle K Convience I bought strawberry oreos and ran home, which might not have been the best idea but it was something haha.

Other then that, I've napped, watched a few Vietnam documentaries on my laptop and kept track of packages make it home, but it's still so boring haha. Tomorrow at 2pm if I'm not close to being healed I'll call in some fire support but I've been reluctant to as the last time I used it, I didn't go to the washroom for four days but at least had my mobility haha. Still no debit card from the Canadian Consulate so I'm not losing any extra time as I'm suck in Saigon until it arrived. Today I was suppose to go to Ben Tre but not getting any sleep and the little I did get, waking up an hour after the bus left, it didn't work out. It wouldn't have anyways unless I can be 5m from a washroom at all times. If you expect pictures and video from today go fuck yourselfs hahahahahaha. If you want, let me know and I can record some, but I'll warn you now that the images will be burnt into your retnas forever.

Tomorrow I'll see how I'm doing, sadly the food that is good for me to eat isn't close by, I'll have to go to the market for bananas and white crackers. Everything else needs to be cooked and sitting in a restaurant which doesn't have a washroom doesn't sound like a plan. I told my nice people who run the guesthouse that I'm sick and if they don't see me within 24 hours to come check on me and they wanted me to pay for the time I've been here before I go. Thank you for the sympathy hahaha. Sitting and being on a laptop is boring despite having the world wide web, friends on msn, email, American War documentaries and all seasons from American Dad, I don't want to be in this state anymore haha. Hopefully tomorrow morning I'm functioning a lot better. Take care.
