my greatest disappointment in the medical world is the inability to put 2 and 2 together to make 4.....abdominal pain, 3rd world country = live little bugs until proven otherwise.
A huge problem is that the docs treating you the 1st time DIDN'T listen and see the obvious.....DAMN DOCTORS!!!
Glad you're in one piece but now out of action for 6 or so weeks.
Hang in there, high protein diet, multivitamines and a water purifier and all will be well (should be at least).
