Here at Carswell, there are not a lot of drinking options. We have one water fountain in our unit that everyone shares plus an ice machine (which breaks down OFTEN) and a hot water dispenser. Besides those options, there are no other liquid options unless you buy at commissary. You are provided something to drink with meals but that is the meal hall.
I cannot drink soda due to the bariatric surgery so ALL I can drink is water. My water comes from melted ice and the water fountain. I believe with all of my being that the water is NOT purified or has something wrong with it. My stomach since entering Carswell has been a mess to say the least. I have 3 to 5 violent stomach episodes EVERY day WITHOUT fail. I have NEVER had stomach issues like this before here. I am at the point of almost 3 weeks of these episodes. I took a look at what I was eating and I don't think I eat enough food to be causing this so by deduction I have traced it to the water. The water is the ONLY thing that makes sense!
Some readers might wonder why I have not chosen to go to the sick call with this issue.. simple - if Carswell doesn't have medical help to maintain my iron levels (much more important) they definitely will not give any attention to my stomach is on fire and has been for almost 3 weeks. Remember, I had blood tests 2 WEEKS AGO - and still have NOT seen a doctor since arrival. Calling this place a medical facility is like calling a flying pig - Superman.
