Where to start??? Wednesday October 19

I'm not sure where to start. Should I start to tell my tale from today forward, or should I backtrack and jump around telling everthing I have missed telling? Possibly a mixture.

First off, I am feeling much better :) I was able to eat soft cooked veggies yesterday, did fine with those so I added rice last night. I think the food has really perked me up. I am so grateful to be feeling better and able to enjoy my time here. My friends have been very helpful (letting me carry the light load from the grocery store),  and supportive (especially at mealtime as I eat my carrot while they are picknicking on bread, wine, olives and cheese). They were sweet and ate their fancy French chocolate while I was in the shower (and saved me some for when I am feeling better).

As far as my hospital visit went, we had taken a night bus from Barcelona to Nice, France. As soon as we arrived in NIce we headed straight for the hospital and went to the emergency room. They sent me to urgent care whre I saw an English speaking doctor. He examined me and sent us off to a pharmacy for threee medications. One was something to re-hydrate my body, one was a probiotic, and the third was clay. No kidding, it is individual packages of powdered clay that I take three times a day in water. It turns out the doctor is a homeopath, an osteopath and a general practitioner. Just what I would have ordered for myslf if I had had a choice. He didn't go all medical on me and admit me or anything which had been my great fear. His treatment seems to be working really well and I am being a star patient, so hope to continue down this path. Now, if my insurance will only reimburse me the 100 euros for the visit.
