Still sick..
« on: September 21, 2005, 01:09:11 pm »
Just thought I'd update on me. I'm still sick, I'll be out of school for the rest of the week. I got a lot of tests done on me today, I was at the doctor's office for like 2 hours! and they are thinking I have salmonella poisoning, if it is then my mom is making me get rid of my iguana, Melvin. :( But on the brightside my vet has a bunch of pet reptiles and he'll take good care of Melvin if I were to give him to him or he would find him a good home with an experienced reptile person.

edit: I forgot to mention that I have lost 3 pounds since Monday!! All because I haven't been eating anything and have been vomiting like 2 times a day. The doc put me on some medication to make me stop vomiting though...

Yikes! If it is salmonella do you really think you got it from Melvin?
I sure hope you feel better soon, I have been sick myself but just with a wimpy cough and cold, and I thought I had it bad!! Hang in there chica! And don't forget the healing power of doggie love!!!

Ohhhh, sweetie!  I didn't really want you to have hantavirus!   ;D

If it is salmonella, are they sure that Melvin is where you got it?  I hope you don't have to give him up, but at least it sounds like you do have a good home for him.... 

(BTW - I am soooo sympathetic about the vomiting.  I have major vomit issues.  I refuse to throw up and have not done so in, like, over 4 years.  I will try to send a little good vomit karma your way....)   :D

I hope it's nothing serious. I had an iguana for 5 years and never got salmonella. Did you remember to wash your hands afterward? I hope you don't have to yet rid of him. I miss mine so much. He was a rescue. How old is your iguana? How long have you had him?
