Being sick in Nepal sucks, for so many reasons.
At least it's not a stomach thing, which in my opinion is the worst of all sicknesses. I have, what feels like, a sinus infection - tremendous headache, pressure in my nose, stuffed up, sore throat from that lovely nasal drip, and a slight fever. The reasons why it sucks so bad to be sick in Nepal?
*No T J, no Mom, no Dad, no Alicia, no Michael to help make me feel better.
*The pollution doesn't help.
*Wanting to go to yoga, but at 5:20 in the morning it feels impossible to wake up.
*Wanting to go to school to teach. I didn't go yesterday, so I will make those 3 classes up next week. At least I don't teach Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
*Going to school and having low energy...once I walk in the school yard all of the students run up and say "good morning, miss". It sucks not to be able to show them how really happy I am to be greeted in such a great way.
*I am so restless when I am sick here...I just want to go out and do things. But with such low energy it feels impossible.
*Hearing people hork - the term for coughing and hacking out some nasty snot and phlem - makes me feel even more sick.
and it happens all the time.
*It is challenging, though it is getting easier, to communicate with the family I live with, about how I feel and what is good to eat and not good to eat.
*I can't just chill and watch movies, until my computer is fixed (which is going to be about $100 - yuck!)
*there are no chairs or couches in our living room and sitting on the floor gets a little old, and painful after a while.
I hope I get over this soon. I got some cipro from the pharmacy (you can get basically what ever you want in the pharmacies here, like Mexico) and that has been helping since I think it is a bacterial infection.
I must go, and rest.
