Not much of a post today, I’m afraid. I’ve spent the last week trundling my youngest back and forth to Urgent Cares, doctor’s offices, and emergency rooms (twice in one day! hooray!) as we dealt with an ever-snowballing cascade of viruses, secondary infections, and tertiary allergic reactions to the medications sent to treat the secondary infections. It was a mess.
My husband ended up with pneumonia, on the eve of another overseas business trip.
And I fought it off as long as I could, until yesterday, when I woke up feeling like a hungover mess who fell down in the middle of the street, got run over five times, and eventually parked on by a large garbage truck. I spent all of yesterday alternating between consciousness and miserable sleep, glued to the sheets with that sheen of feverish sweat as my body gave a half hearted attempt to fight for my survival.
Today, I can sit up. That is a good thing. But this is the most I can manage to type.
But I’ll share some good news, that I can type quickly: I’m going back to Africa! I’m going on a trip with World Vets in June to help out the donkeys of the Maasai tribe in Arusha, Tanzania. So this is good, I will get all this garbage out of my system now so I’ll be good to go then.
Congrats on getting back to Africa! That sounds like such a great project!
I hope you and your family feel better soon! Glad you have some exciting news to boost your energy.
Healing vibes to you and your family! Can’t wait to hear more about the trip to Africa. I know you are excited!
My eyes popped out of my head when I read where you were going and why. Hurry up and feel better so you can tell us more about it.
i would love to go with you. i have always wanted to help animals in other countries. i have too much going on and i have 3 little 4 legged girls and no one to leave them with. i will not board them and also could not bear to be away from them.
Feel better, Dr. V!
Get well soon! At least the four-legged members of the family aren’t having health issues (I hope?)
jealous of the trip!!!! not the viruses!
Africa not only offers great Excitement & Adventure, but also new Foods.
