So unfortunately, I've fallen victim to Laryngitis, an ear infection, and a sinus infection. It started last Sunday (sinus infection & ear infection), I had a brief medical consultation with a doctor at the Rotary meeting on Monday night, which was probably not the most thorough exam sitting in the meeting room at the Hilton. I think I kept convincing myself that I was getting better until my body said, 'Nope, I don't think so.' At which point I completely lost my voice this morning.
I first stopped in at the hotel medical station. Fortunately the extremely nice hotel we are staying at has made everything really easy, including seeking medical attention. They then referred me to the local hospital. They asked me, "Do you want to go by taxi or ambulance?" At which point I terrifyingly heard the sound of a cash register ringing in my bad ear. I said that a taxi would be fine.
Vivian and I headed to the local private hospital. I was in and out in 1 hr.. The doctor asked me to say my name as loudly as I could, which was barely above a whisper. I'm now loaded down with meds and feeling better because I feel like I have the right medications and a beautiful pool/sea to nap by. I am really disappointed that I'm not feeling better to truly enjoy this amazing setting. But I'll get over that.
I'm grateful for the team, they have really taken care of me! More later.

I just looked at the hotel website - this beats being sick in Togo, Nairobi and even London. I hope you recover quickly so that you can enjoy your location.
