My Sushi Days Are Over

When it rains, it pours.  So as I wrote earlier in the week I have come down with a case of TMJ.  My jaw has been very sore and it has been hard to eat anything that requires much chewing.  On Saturday I was still away with my daughter at her tournament and we went into a Wegman's grocery store outside of Philadelphia and I bought a raw tuna roll for lunch.  I couldn't figure out what else to get that wouldn't hurt my jaw.   My eleven year old daughter told me three times I shouldn't buy it.  She kept saying, "you know daddy always says don't eat Sushi from a grocery store".  The woman behind the counter made it "fresh" for me so I felt some comfort that it hadn't been sitting there.

Well with each day that passed this week I got a little sicker and sicker.  By yesterday I was very sick and experiencing pain like I had never felt before (except for maybe labor).  After some emergency tests were performed I was diagnosed with Acute Infectious Colitis.  Basically very bad bacteria got into my body via a food I ate...hence the raw sushi.  Still waiting to hear exactly which bacteria is ravaging my body.  I am on antibiotics now (that should kill the typical offenders) and the doctor said hopefully by tomorrow I will start to feel a little better.  By doctor's orders no raw sushi for at least a year.  If you ask me...I'm done with raw...period!!

Hopefully by next week everything will be back to normal.
