Well, I am back home now, but I am going to continue with my Blog. I journeled every night, so I am going to copy it here for you.
Friday - March 21
Alas, no trip for me! Thursday night and Friday Iwas so sick that I do not remember much of anything.Throwing up, diarrhea, chills, sweats, aches and pains, dry heaves and fever! I took the meds the travel doctor gave me, but I just threw them back up. Yuch! It is bad enough being sick at home, but in Africa, not so good. I was on the top bunk, so I had to throw a blanket on the floor and lie there. In the bathroom, you don't want to touch the toilet, floor or walls (there are lizards on them), so it was a very difficult time. By Saturday morning I was just dry heaving, so I was able to keep the meds down. The Staff wanted me to go to the hospitqal, but I said "No", as my home doctor had told me not to go to a dopctor in Africa unless it was an emergency. I knew I didn't have malaria, because I haven't had any mosquito bites, so I just figured it was some kind of virus. The staff kept trying to feed me, as that is how they treat diarrhea here, but I stuck to liquids. Saturday evening I started to feel better. There are only 14 of us here this weekend, as everyone else has gone away. So saturday evening I wrapped some candy in paper napkins, put them in a bowl and drew a sign with a bunny on it saying, "Happy Easter". I put it out this morning, and everyone was very happy with their treat; especially the young ones. John, one of our drivers, invited us to his house for Easter lunch. I still am not 100%, so I didn't go. I would have loved to see his home & how they celebrate.
So, now I am waitng for everyone to get back. It is lonely here by myself. I am feeling better, but weak & tired. I think I will be good tomorrow.
