Starting to feel better...

Saturday morning I woke up with the craziest cough and a pounding headache. (No cigarettes or alcohol were involved therefore these symptoms were not a consequence of a hang over). I had already made plans to head to Tonacatepeque with a friend so I decided to be a trooper and keep my plans. Unfortunately by Saturday evening I was feeling worse and I began to think that I had contracted the swine. Thankfully, there was a doctor available in Tonaca. After asking me about my symptoms she took my temperature, examined my throat, and told me that all I had was a throat infection with a mild cold but no swine. She then asked me, "do you prefer oral medication or injection?" I asked her, "What is faster?" Of course to no surprise she said injection. She quickly jotted down the prescription and sent Eduardo to go get it. When he came back five minutes later, she took the meds from him and began to prep the needle (an anti-gripal). At this point I thought that the needle was going to be administered on my arm but then she told me "lie down on your stomach." Upon hearing these instructions I realized that I was going to get a shot in my "nalgita."

So I did what she instructed. I tried to relax but as she was trying to find the muscle I became more tense. Finally I took a deep breath and felt 500 ml being shot straight into my buttock. At first there was no pain but soon after the pain became intense. I had to remain seated for 3 minutes because my ass cheek was numb. On Sunday I had to endure it again as the doctor had prescribed two shots.....

Today I feel better, I have been bitchy and lethargic for most of the week (sorry girls) but I finally feel like I am getting back to my old self.
