Dear Ikko, Day 15
I know I haven't written in a while, but I have a good excuse. On day 9 I was walking up this hill and an older woman was driving her horses very slowly farther behind me. Suddenly, I lost all feeling in my legs and I fell backwards. I hit my head against this huge rock and blacked out. Apparently the lady found me and took me to her home in her village where her husband was waiting. But, after looking me over, she had him take me to the hospital nearby.
It seems that the change in climate had disturbed a parasite that I already had inside me and once I came around they gave me large doses of medication. They said the meds would kill the parasite and return me to health, but I'm not quite sure how well it did. The biggest reason I didn't write was because I couldn't. I was on so many meds, I couldn't think straight. That's also why I can't remember anything from the past 6 days.
Well, I'm writing from the hospital bed. They said I could leave tomorrow.
