Hospitals are not as cool as hostels.

June 29, 2009

Hello All,

Ugh. Maria and I almost got to go to Granada. Then I ate a moldy tortilla and got stuck with an intestinal infection. Ugh. On the upside, I´m feeling completely better now, and having been a guest of the hospital in Ocotal for 2 days and 2 nights, I also feel really safe here. The nurses were really efficient, the same doctor came around every 5 hours, and everything was wrapped in reassuringly sterile packaging. Although, it was a little disconcerting that the first question they asked was, ¨If we have to operate, would you like the surgery done here?¨ That didn´t go too far toward making me comfortable! But, Adelina and David stayed with me for both days, which I couldn´t have ever expected. They made me feel so much better. And poor Maria stayed back to hang out with me all weekend, which makes me feel like the wet blanket, but I really appreciated her company too.

That´s all for today, since I obviously haven´t done anything too exciting the last few days… I´ll be busy working at the Center on my frankenstein solar cooker for the autoclave, but I´ll make sure to update after this weekend. We might go somewhere fun, and might have a good time at a volcano, but I don´t want to jinx anything again! Talk to you all later :)

    Glad you received good care and are feeling better. Claire is here at my office working hard on setting up a database for all my cases. She just said I have too many clients! Take care.

    Oh Erin, I’m so sorry you’re not well! I’m thinking about you all and praying for you. Keep up the great work and great attitude!

Got something to say?
