| Me in my Johnny with my Potassium! |
Yesterday, Saturday, was my 22nd day in Antigua and the sixth day of being sick. I went to the doctor for the second time and discussed options for treatment. We came to the decision that I needed to go to the hospital here in Antigua for a mild procedure and an IV (I hadn't eaten a full portion of anything in all six days). My doctors appointment was at noon, and by 1:30pm I was in Hermano Pedro Private Hospital. The procedure was at 2pm, and by 4pm I was exhausted and napping in my private hospital room. The program manager for Casa Herrera, Milady, was with me the whole time I was in the hospital (minus the procedure and when she quickly stepped out to get lunch). I have an anxiety issue I have been trying to control for a long time, and being in the hospital, particularly when I was given the IV, I was on the verge of an anxiety attack, but Milady talked me through it and was a complete angel the whole day.
After my nap I was 100% better. The IV and the procedure were amazing in getting me back on my feet, and by the time the doctor came back at 7pm to check on me, I was grinning ear-to-ear and laughing up a storm. Something wonderful also happened while I was at the hospital; Milady and I heard three babies get born while we were there! By 7:45pm I was on my way home and feeling better than I had the whole week.
