Just got home from the hospital. I'm fine. The doctors didn't know what it was at first, though, with guesses ranging from a lower intestinal infection to Crohn's disease. So they did tests and a colonoscopy, and pumped me full of fluids and antibiotics. Turns out it was campylobacter, a bacteria found in undercooked chicken. Basically, gnarly food poisioning. I'll probably be eating less chicken for a while.

What's wrong kev?
Bummer, Kevin. I just saw Joeth Z. at lunch today and she said she heard you'd been ill.
Feel better soon.

Ewwwww. I had a coworker who was hospitalized for a week with food poisoning this summer . . . you didn't dine at Amigo's by any chance, didja?
Glad you're home, make sure the family pampers you with comic books and 7Up.
Sorry, that link above didn't work.
Here it is: Campylobacter
Campylobacter Jejuni is my new band name.
