24 Hr. Sickness

I got very sick on Saturday.
It started the day before. We made a hour long walk to our near by town for shopping, got lunch and then walked back with our supplies. It was very hot.
By the time i got back it was time to coach basketball, so stayed out for another 2 hours. After, we had a PCV friend, sonya, over for dinner. So i spent 2 hours standing in the kitchen preparing food. About mid-way through cooking i started feeling really bad.

To may a long story short, i think i got food poisoning, because i got very sick for the next day. Luckily i seem to have recovered. I now just have a sore throat, which i am hoping will go away as well.

The real down side to the sickness was the spectacle of it. All our neighbors got to see the mazungu go back and forth from the choo every 5 minutes and eventually just sit out there. argh... No one likes to be put on display when they are feeling their worst.

  1. Glad you're feeling better! Hopefully by the time you read this your sore throat will be gone! You're right...no one wants everyone to see them at their worst...
