real quick update

I have Dengue Fever. I was flown to Belize City to go to the Hospital to get my blood work done. I am still up here, slowly getting better. Dengue is a tropical blood borne illness that mosquito's transmit. It involves aches, pains extremely high fever. Unlike the flu that fever spikes at a very high temperature then goes down, my fever has spiked up to 6 times a day at its worst. There is nothing to do about it except ride out the pain and take Tylenol. I should be going back to PG later this week. I am doing fine I just feel like shit most of the day, it is the most painful sickness I have had in a while. They call it "bone break fever" because that's what it feels like.

This is all I have time for now. Thanks the concern... I should be feeling better, by some degree, by next week.

Also my next blog post, when I have the time and strength to type it out involves my adventures with the Belizean Medical care! All this terror about health care reform in American, I suggest the GOP all get a serious disease and come to Belize. Whatever Mr. Obama is offering will look like God's Gift to Sick People. It was an adventure to say the least : )

a preview: no gloves, at times no shoes, injections whose names are in Spanish, a convict, prescribed medication that actually WORSENED my condition and a nurse who pierced my artery! all of this and more!

Feeling yucky in Belize,
Matty
