Blantyre, Malawi C. Africa
Some things that happen in Malawi are funny and some not
so funny; this one depends on what side of the door you are on.
I have not been feeling well the past few days as I have
been coming down with a cold. A cold is not fun in Pace, Fl so you can guess
how much fun it is here in Malawi. Anyway I have been having night sweats due
to fever. A few days ago I told Grace I needed a wash cloth, she did not have
any she thought I would like to use so she had Rackson buy new.
She gave me the new wash cloths the other day and I have
been using them in the morning when I get up sometimes in the shower and
sometimes as I bucket wash. While not feeling well I have been paying attention
to all my functions as Sheila mentioned parasites like I needed that to worry
about. Anyway I had noticed in the morning that I thought I was looking a
little yellow around my eyes and my face in general. It went away and then I
noticed it again today as I was feeling sort of poorly. To tell the truth I was
a little fearful as back in the late 60’s I had Hepatitis and thought I was a
goner, spent a loooong time in the Navy Hospital San Diego. I had that same
yellow skin cast.
What is the funny part you may be asking? As I was
showering this evening I watched in great joy as I was wringing out the soap
from my wash cloth how yellow it was. It was a cheap cloth from Patel’s that
Rackson bought and the dye was being washed out in each use, now I know why on
some days I was turning orange.
If I live through the mystery meat, fever, goat teeth in
my food, the thought of parasites and now yellow dye on my wash cloth. I will
be home soon and maybe I will have some stories to tell. Some might even be
true. Tomorrow bible study at Njuli.
Till later, be good and be safe.
