I got crazy sick so I had to come to Kampala a bit early. I went alone to the forest on a hot day. My left arm started getting numb and I began to pass out. Luckily I made it back home before collapsing. I suffered chills, headaches, eye soreness, numbness, vomiting, itchy rashes, and diarrhea. I'm pretty much better now, but I haven't been that sick for a long time.
I came to Mukono again to visit Toto. Here Silver and I are going to make preparations for a collaboration on a book. I have about 3 weeks left in Uganda. Kampala is totally different than the rest of Uganda. I was definitely too idle in the village, but I kind of miss it. Despite the fact that we only ever ate beans and cassava.
Like always, I'm just relaxing and enjoying people's company. I'll be in Mukono for most the week before I return to Muyenga for a few days.

What the heck!?!?!?!?! I would have said a cuss word, but I censored myself for other's sake. Phil! It sounds like you were dying! That's worse than when I got sick that one weekend. Way to just play that down... your mom is gonna freak.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I am glad you survived and that you didn't die. Tropical illnesses sound a lot more dramatic than other ones... way more dramatic.
Still thinking of and praying for you often. Weird that you are about to leave Uganda AGAIN!
Shalom, friend.
Haha, yeah I kind of rushed through this post on account that I only had a few minutes left in the internet cafe. But I've managed to tap into some campus internet now that I'm back in Mukono. You will have to tell me about your farming sometime soon, please. I always get excited when people close with "Shalom." So thank you!
