Medical Report
and they said online
medical records would never happen...
Fortunately, I haven't had any major health
problems on the trip. Here's a quick rundown of the minor stuff.
| Problem |
City |
Onset |
Resolution |
| Wicked headache |
Petra |
I get a wicked
fever like headache when I arrive in Petra. |
I figure I'm
crashing after 2 days of running on a Wow-I'm-in-Egypt adrenaline high
with no sleep AND jet lag. I sleep for 12 hours to
recover |
Hip and
back pain |
Prague |
Sitting funny on a
5 hour train ride, I throw my hip out of joint, resulting in back pain
when I walk around Prague all day |
I pop my back my
wiggling around on a cement wall across the street from the Loretta,
popping my hip back into joint. |
| Mosquito Bites,
small |
Rome |
In a run-down Rome
hotel, I notice squished mosquitoes on the wall. When I wake up, I
have several nipple-size mosquito bites |
I try not to
scratch. Several weeks later, I still have leftover marks, which if
they don't go away, are my Rome tattoo I guess |
| Mosquito bites,
big |
New York |
Walking around
Central Park, I get 12 quarter-size mosquito bites |
I try not to
scratch more and hope they go away |
| Eye lesion |
Paris |
My contact lens
bothers me one day. The next day, I have crusty sleep chunks in my
eye several mornings in a row |
I find an
opthalmologist in Paris, who tells me I have an eye lesion, common in
contact lens wearers. No contact lenses for a week, plus Vitamin B |
| Sniffles |
Sweden |
A girl in the
hostel I'm at says she has the flu, and the next day, I get the sniffles
that last a week |
Drink more OJ and
it goes away after a few days |
| Calloused toes |
Scandanavia |
I develop calloused
toes from my daily routine of walking around cities from 9 am to 8 pm all
day |
I wear thinner
socks to reduce pressure, but just suck it up and walk it out |
|
Fever in Petra, crashing after a jet lag and adrenaline high
I pop my back across the street from the Loretta.
