We went to Acapulco Dec 2-9th for Michael's 60th birthday. Michael is Stephanie's husband. Stephanie is Myron's sister for all of you out there who don't know.
We had a blast with Michael, Stephanie and all of Michael's fishing buddies who also came out to celebrate.
The weather was great, the hotel superb and the fishing terrific. Anna caught a 25 pound Mahi Mahi and another 2 were caught by Karen and Angela. So the girls were awesome. We all ate them for dinner at a local restaurant. They were prepared 4 ways and the taxi driver and the Captain and his family joined us for dinner. The 3 Mahi Mahi fed around 20 people with plenty leftover for the taxi driver to take to his family.
Everything was simply amazing. However on one morning, Anna ate some Papaya that just didn't taste good. After the first bite, she mentioned it to Myron but took one more bite and then decided it wasn't good and didn't finish it. Within 5 minutes she started having a stomachache and with in 30 minutes after having increasing stomach pain violently vomited. She thought she was better but the pain returned with terrible sharp stomach spasms. After writhing in the bed for awhile and trying to throw up again, Myron convinced her to go to the doctor at the resort.
Bent over and in agony Anna went to the doc with Myron. His exam indicated she was food poisoned and required an IV of 3 medications: an antiinflammatory, antispasmotic and antibiotic.
Within minutes of the IV the pain was gone! Anna, the nurse, asked for the names of the drugs and only knew one of them. The other 2 were not FDA approved or available in the US. Oh well, this was Mexico and they worked. She has yet to grow a new ear or develop ESP. Because the food poisoned bacteria was unknown, she also had to have 7 days of oral Cipro. The doc suspected that it could have been Salmonella or E-coli so ......
Anyway not to let the problem affect her negatively, Anna got her bathing suit on and headed to the pool to relax for the rest of the day. She didn't feel like eating for about 36 hours but nibbled on bland stuff. She still went for a horseback ride on the beach anyway and was back to normal soon after.
We will attach more pix via flickr.
But here are some to get the preview.
Love
anna and myron
