Description

I visited on October 5th through the 12. I went surfing and wiped out. A week later there was an advisory that had high bacteria from sewage in the water exactly where I swam. 2 days after my Wipeout I was sick with what I thought was a sinus infection. It's not 3 weeks later, I was treated with antibiotics and I'm still in severe pain. My headache was so bad I cried my eyes out and couldn't see today. I'm currently in the emergency room hoping to find out what's wrong with me.
