Sickness Day #2

After yesterdays sickness, I hoped to wake up having moved on from a day long sickness. Yet very quickly it was evident that I was in fact going to suffer throughout today too. I woke up with similar symptoms, a headache and nausea, yet no sore muscles or fever. Not long after I began to get some seriously painful stomach issues. After many hours of suffering I had to force myself to the pharmacy to obtain some Loperamide. By this time I was dangerously low on water, but didn't have the energy previously to get my own. It had been many hours without and with my stomach issues I was incredibly dehydrated. With water, medication and a bag of chips secured, I made my way back to the room. Still low on energy, just getting these things took it out of me. I took my beds, went to the toilet, and fell sleep. The chips were the first thing I had eaten in nearly 48 hours. The meds did their job, however, and when I woke up I could manage to leave the room. I was anxious to travel far so just went to get a smoothie and some more snacks hoping to sustain me for a while. I even managed to secure some dinner later in the day after a couple more sleeps. By this point it was obvious that I was not going to get my visa approved and I wanted out of this city. As such, I booked an overnight bus to La Paz again, and a flight to meet Sarah in Costa Rica. I was really hoping I would feel better by tomorrow.Read more
