So i haven't blogged for a while mainly because i have been ill! First of all last week i go a stomach bug thing which wasnt pretty and now this week i have picked up a chest infection! This has lead to 2 visits to the doctors luckily because the organisation im working with donates and works with the doctor i walk straight in to see him! The first time however it didnt quite go to plan, mark (one of the project staff) and i went to the doctors having not been able to contact the doctor directly, this meant we had to wait. The waiting room is much like a normal docs surgery at home however there isnt like an order in which you go into the room you sort of have to barter your way in. This is easier said that done with a waiting room full of people who spoke naught but swahili! Anyway mark who is learning swahili attempts to jump the queue by discussing with the people when we could go in, during this discussion he attempted to tell them i had stomach problems however he inadvertantly told them that i was PREGNANT! to which the whole room burst out laughing! At this point i didnt know anything all i knew was they where laughing looking at my directtion! Apparently the work for pregant and stomach issues are very similar!
When i eventually get into the room the doctor isnt there and i see the nurse who makes ms trunchball from matilda look kind!
The second visit went fine, the doctor was there this time and i walked straight into the room, was very nerve racking as they thought the second time i may have Malaria! I dont so alls good. Im starting to get over the check infection now so hopefully its not going to plague me for much longer!
Its a quite annoying that the time i extended for ive spent most of it ill but can't really be helped!
So tests are over for last week in the school and today they go their results some would be moving up a level, majority staying where they are and some moving down! Its hard because its means so much to them!
