hospital visit

it seems that it is absolutely impossible for somebody to take a trip over here for over a month without getting sick. ben went above and beyond in this respect. sarah made sure to add her name to the sick in kenya list after only a week. and i have now joined.

i woke up at 7 this morning coughing like crazy and with a pretty good headache. took some advil and throat lozenges and everything seemed all right. then i started getting cold in church, while remembering that andrew and jean had just gotten sick with the symptoms of- cough, headache, feeling cold.

beatrice had to leave early, and that meant that we were leaving a little early. but then we contacted beatrice, and she said to go to the hospital. by this time the advil had warn off i was feeling progressively worse.

5 hours at the hospital got everything sorted out, and i am able to go to pokot tomorrow, something that i thought would not happen mid afternoon. before getting paracetamol from the doc, i was feeling as bad as i can remember. might have been that sick senior year of high school.

but now i feel fine, so lots of drugs in the near future and i should be ok.

pokot should be pretty interesting
