Hospitali

Sooo, I had this wonderful Sunday planned: take a private plane with Grace to Lake Naivasha, do a boat ride on the lake and see hippos and flamingos, then go to this wonderful lodge for lunch and hang out at the pool until it was time to fly back...

Instead I got to go to Nairobi Hospital yesterday due to a stomach ache that had bothered me since Saturday morning. 

 The emergency room was a pretty typical one, with the only difference that patients were asked to pay in advance for seeing the doctor and take tests. When I asked why, the answer was: "We need to clear you financially first." I guess that's a good point. 

 Speaking of finances, the whole thing set me back for about 75 €, which luckily my insurance will cover.

 Anyway, the care and service was good and I got a lot of different medicine, so I should be fine. The reason to the stomach ache was inconclusive but no, it wasn't because of the water (I drink bottled water only) or something strange I ate - just a reminder of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Something that could happen anywhere. 

Still... not nice. 

I miss my own bed.
