Update: To His Noodliness

I guess what i was trying to communicate in the previous post was how traumatizing and demoralizing that bout with food poisoning was. I can deal with acute stomach pain (the sharp stabbing kind), but the vague dis-ease and enveloping malaise I experienced took a heavy mental and emotional toll. It was as psychically draining as it was physically draining. Despite the fact I expected to get sick in India, I wasn't prepared for the adverse effects upon my psyche.
