Als je alle verhalen van een bevriende ‘expat’ in Papoea New Guinea leest voel ik me met al mijn intrawesterse gereis wel een beetje… tsja. Diep respect voor Sjroep.
… Im quickly downloading some info. In between I thought to keep you posted. Over the weekend I lost 7 kg of body fluids due to diarrhea and vomiting. My body weight was 76kg. I was barely able to walk. Went to the hospital and they put me on an IV. 4 liters of saline went into my body. And after that I felt ok again. My doctor in Hagen did some checking up and found out that I was using the wrong drugs. Too strong. So now Im getting a lighter drug, which doesnt seem to affect me that much. Ill go and stand on a scale in a minute so I can see what my weight is now. Never thought that I would want to gain weight. …
