Well it's 4.30 am and I am awake bright and early -yet again- so figured I'd take this time to blog. Why not eh? I have decided my life has become similar to that on a Soap Opera. It just gets more random and extreme.
Friday saw 2 visits to the hospital. First was with Amanda after school because her neck is so bad, but that involved going with our friend Lidia (trainee dr) to her house to see her mum (a dr). Amanda has been drugged up and will hopefully be ok!
I got home and not long after I got a phone call from another friend Sheri. She and 2 other girls teach in a schooljust outside of town and we have got to know them. 2 of them come to our Bible Study group. Anyway, Sheri called me to say she'd been feeling really ill all week and thought it about time she saw a dr but didn't know how to go about it. So, I went and collected her and took her to the hospital - heh I know my way around so well! We also took her housemate who wasn't feeling great. They had been told by their boss that they might have Walking Pnuemonia - funniest looking pneumonia I've ever seen?! (can't spell it either). It turned out that Sheri had had Dengue all week and was just starting to come out of it!! Poor thing! Heather just had an ear infection!!!
Saturday morning came and I was off to the vet as Delilah needed her hernia checked (excting life eh?) and Jezebel was just really not well, very dosile and not eating. Delilah is fine and he doesn't need to operate. Jezebel however is really sick! She has a fever and he took some blood. I then had to take the blood to the clinic to be tested. It was very strange because the lab was part of a hospital clinic so I queued up with my dog's blood whilst everyone else there was clerly sick and having their own blood done. One place does all. I waited for the results and we went back to the vet. As yet I'm not sure what it is, but has something to do with a tick and getting into the blood stream. It is potentially fatal but we think we have caught it in time. He gave her 2 injections and then gave me an injection to bring home to give it to her myself today! I love this country!!! I have to take her back tomorrow (Monday) for more results and for more medication, then again Wednesday and Friday! Poor little thing!! It's also cheaper to get my car fixed than to fix my dog!!
Fun never ends! And thank you also to my Honduran friends who rang me 15 times last night each time pretending to be someone else to generally confuse me and my Spanish. Did I appreciate it? Not a lot!!

Not quite sure what to say except I read your blogs and can't quite believe all that happens to you out there. You seem to lurch from one incident to another life would never really be the same anywhere else. Hope all well with the dogs I'm off to vets to expend a large sum of money on Monday. Jean Pxx
Wow, you're a busy girl. Did you think you'd become a nurse/paramedic/veterinarian when you moved to Honduras? Gladys and Lidia are both fantastic though. Give them both a hug for me. I miss my Honduran mom! Hope Delilah comes out of it ok and that Amanda's neck is feeling better soon!
I am really missing you aunty kafsy. Sounds like your very busy at the moment. Please send me a picture of your dogs. Love from Hannahxx
