Today I learned a very important lesson: don’t eat salad in Ghana. I am typing this with one hand because my right arm is attached to an IV drip. It’s slow typing! I am fine. Relatively. I know this doesn’t sound good to people back home given what I wrote yesterday about cholera. I just have a bad case of travellers’ sickness, probably from a salad I ate yesterday. I will leave out all the details and say only that this morning was very unpleasant. Living with a doctor is great though because he went into action quickly. I’ve had IV going for a few hours to replace all the fluids I’ve lost and am just lying in bed. Hopefully, I’ll be better tomorrow. These things usually go away within 36 hours. As for travelling this weekend, we’ll make a decision on Friday. This is really lame; I won’t lie. But it happened and I’m recovering and I’ve learned something from it. I’ll post this when I’m better. I could kill for a Slurpee right now. Anything cold. Anything! I’m not supposed to eat or drink right now. I hope everyone had a happy Halloween. My morning after was absolutely ghoulish.
