the beginning.....

I suppose I should go back, and say how this started. My story, like most of my stories, is so meandering and strange, it is hard to believe.

September 21, 2008. At my desk, at work. Go to the bathroom, and pass a fish tapeworm! Make an appointment, go to the Doctor. She draws blood, and gives me these little vials to take home to give her a stool sample.

I go home, and pass another freaking tapeworm! I bring it in, and get a referral to a Gastroenterologist.

He gives me a dose of this poison, and I go home and take it. They dose it to make sure to kill the worms, but not to kill you.....it just feels like it.

I am recovering the next day when the phone rings...more later.
