Here's a turn up.
Had a productive day yesterday, starting out the day with a walk and a swim, making butternut squash soup for art group and cleaning half of my front room. Had a lovely cool bath and lunch. Veenitha left and shortly thereafter, I starting feeling cold and having the shakes. Long story short, I finally went to the bathroom and while on the toilet, I started feeling faint. I managed to get down on my hands and knees and crawl into my shower where I curled up on the floor with the ants. After more shivering, I started to let go from both ends. Lay there a while longer and managed to get up without slipping in all the stuff my body had expelled. Managed to wash myself off and get back into bed where I continued to shiver and my feet were ice cold. All this while it was about 30°C.
After calling around a bit, I finally got hold of Veenitha who turned around from home and came back to look after me. Got some electrolytes into me and some lime juice and salt and was feeling a lot better when the power went out around 1930. You gotta love Sri Lanka.
I am sure it was salmonella poisoning. Veenitha had made me some friend eggs in the morning. I noticed that some of the white was not fully cooked, but I figured it was not too much and would be OK. Wrongo salmonella breath!
No more fried or soft boiled eggs for me. Only omelettes, hard boiled or scrambled. Lesson learned.
All this made me miss art group today. Bummer.
