| 7th July 2010: Fevered Dinner With Dumbo Today has been a mixed day. First off, I had a very hot night because I forgot to put the air conditioning down to low. It meant that I was waking up roughly every hour of the night with sweats. Then I called my girlfriend who told me she was ill, but still came around, but had HUGE red ears which were burning up. So she called her uncle who is a doctor and who told her it could be dengue fever - a horrible virus but not contagious. Then we had the cleaning woman come around and tell us that she was going to be fumigating our floor to kill moquitoes, which is always a good thing. Right now I have the whole "phantom nits" thing. Where if you think about them, you begin itching. I am the same with mosquito bites right now. A lot of itching. Then we went for lunch with my girlfriend's brother. I had the best steak sandwich I have ever had. Some kind of a pink sauce, chunks of steak, covered in melted cheese. And then I had some of her nachos. Also very, very good. And then we went to the university medical centre, waited around, got refused an appointment, so we went to the pharmacy, and were told it was probably allergies, and got given a cream. My girlfriend put the cream on, and a while later, her ears began to go down and stopped being so red. But then we got the terrible news. Her mother has dengue fever. So we ate at burger king, kind of solomnly, then she ran be back to the hotel and went to the hospital to spend time with her mother. Fortunately dengue fever, whilst being serious, isn't too bad as long as you get treatment. I mean, it is something that if you're alert enough, you can treat it at home with over the counter medicines (paracetamol for pain relief). You just need to keep your fluid intake up, hence sometimes needing hospital treatment. Tomorrow, cross fingers, is going to be a good day. I've said prayers for my girlfriend's mother, and we're planning to spend time doing the tourist thing. I think trainers will be needed! My girlfriend said that we are going to do a lot of walking tomorrow, but she wants us to see everything the city has to offer. Now, I know the prayers thing isn't something that non believers "get" but studies have proven that they work, and my sister who is a nurse has seen identical cases, one being prayed for, one not, and the one who was prayed for getting better faster. As I write this, I have a 100% record when it comes to my prayers being answered for other people who are ill. I just hope it keeps up. SO, that is me. I am having a really good time out here, and I will be hugely sad to leave on Saturday. We're currently shopping for tickets for her to come over at Christmas. I have to say, I really like Honduras. It's a kind of relaxed and chilled out country. I mean, my girlfriend, her friend, and I were trying my e-cigarette in a book store, and no-one said a word. Today, my girlfriend was using my e-cigarette as a smoke machine in the medical centre and we were all giggling like children, we got a few glances from a few people, but once they saw the green tip of the e-cigarette, they didn't seem to care. Can you honestly see that happening in the UK? Permalink |
