Road to Recovery

This morning I woke up and decided that no matter what I was leaving the house at some point, I didn't care where I went but I just had to leave. I sat up in bed and my head started to spin and my stomach started to turn and I promptly laid back down and changed my mind. After a while of just laying there I got out of bed. Since Monday I was supposed to go with someone to get my "Permis de sejour" (a permit to live and work in Haiti). I kept calling him and asking him to postpone one more day. I figured it would be a long day of waiting in lines and I would never last seeing as I hadn't stood up for more than 1 minute in the last 5 days. I got out my phone to call him but he assured me that I wouldn't have to stand at all. I felt bad putting it off one more day so I agreed to go. Well he was true to his word both places we went had chairs to wait in and airconditioning (a rare treat)! However, the ride downtown was very hot and we had to walk a fair bit when we got there because it was impossible to find parking close to the buildings. But the good news is, that I survived and I'm feeling way better. My stomach isn't bothering me and I ate twice today already! Thanks for the many prayers offered up. I can truly say I'm on the road to recovery. Praise the Lord.

Hey Kim,

You have my empathy severely. I'm all easy going until I get sick, then it's despair island. ha.

So, how long were you in country before this "hit" you? -J
