Well WHAT A DAY!
Had about an hour sleep last night, then up early for starting teaching by 8am. Had an aweful headache all day, but that I could cope with. Unfortunately having a room full of loud children doesn't help but oh well. It was when I looked at my arms at around 11am and noticed my skin was turning black that I knew I had a major problem. Literally, black bruising and black coming out of the pores all over my shoulders and arms. Saw the on site communist doctor for free by 4pm, who searched about on my abdomen and finally found what he was looking for on the back of my neck; 4 huge consecutive bites. I hadn't even noticed them, but I've attached pictures to the blog. Apparently they're about 4 days old already. I was bitten by a bug (no-one could translate exactly what) but it poisoned me and apparently it is incredible that i'm okay! Had a banging headache today but they said that was to be expected and that i'm lucky to have not had a lot worse. Due to my size and fantastic immune system me think. The poison will ooze out of my skin within 24 hours and I would be back to fighting fit once again. He recommend some vigorous exercise to sweat it out, so that's what I've just returned from; 5 hours (starting after dinner) in the pitch black up a freaking massive mountain in the boiling hot. To say I've sweated like a pig is the biggest understatement of the century, but it was so much fun! And the mounains were very beautiful at sunset. We dragged all the children up with us, and only when we got to the top did anyone notice I was only wearing flip-flops (everyone else being in hiking gear). Very funny. Just had a shower and most of the black has gone now which is such a relief! Apprarantly some bite bruising for around 2 weeks, but apart from that, ALL IS WELL AGAIN! WHOOOO! Off to bed now as very tired, but will give a detailed update tomorrow hopefully. x
