I don't usually update this often (obviously) but I'm laying in bed fairly paralyzed and have been all day and this lovely lady, Carla, who had her flight home today, left her internet stick with us so I figured I'd use this opportunity wisely :) I'm sick as a dog. I was totally fine yesterday but then last night I woke up trying to keep myself from passing out which was very bizarre because I didn't know that in sleep I'd be conscious enough to wake myself up so as to not pass out. Weird. Anyways, I was nauseous and getting stomach cramps all night among other awful symptoms, didn't sleep at all, felt like death, and haven't left bed most of today. Not fun. Luckily (don't know if this is actually lucky or not but whatever) there's another girl who is just as sick as me with the same shit and she's in the bed right next to mine! We've been bonding all day over how awful we feel. And also luckily, I came to Nairobi yesterday and if I was still in Saikeri, although I'd have a nurse mama right there to take care of me, I'd also have to be sick in a latrine instead of a real bathroom and if I got up at night there would be no electricity to light my way anywhere. So really this situation is as ideal as it's gonna get. AND since I'm in Nairobi I have a plethora of hospitals to choose from if I should need one, whereas in Saikeri we only have mama Maggie (who is wonderful obviously, but still not a hospital). I don't have anything cool to update you on because I haven't done anything awesome today but this is life so you can all hear about it. Send well wishes my way (and for my sickly friend too) and I love you all tons
