Health check!
Wow, you are getting 2 entries in one week!! Again a short one but here goes!
Since we are in Lilongwe for a few extra days we decided to get odd jobs done. I needed 3 boosters and I had a slight sore tooth occasionally when eating. So booked appointments with the dentist and the doctor.
Firstly one of the jabs that I needed wasn't stocked by the doctor that VSO uses but I had arranged to collect it from the Brittish High Commission. I arrived there and they had also ran out of the vacine and had given my one away to someone else! Great. So we went on a wild goose chase to get the jab from another private clinc in the capital. Thankfully he had some and I got the jab at his clinic.
Next day it was the dentis just to see if a filling was maybe loose. I tried to explain that I wans't in pain etc ect and I just wanted it checked. After banging about for a while in my mouth the dentist declared that I needed root canal treatment on my tooth and she would do it now but I'd need to come back in 2 weeks for a follow up! I literally took off the bid, grabbed my bag and ran saying that I was too busy at the moment. She offered me mediation for the pain - what pain!!!
Back to the doctors (it is in the same building as the dentists!) an hour later but they had ran out of the rabies jag. I managed to get the other one but am still waiting for the rabise one. Hopefully I can get it back in Rumphi as there are several wild dogs running a riot in the area!!!!
So in actual fact I think we did quite well in terms of Malawi - but no way and I getting root canal treatment at this time!!!!
Hope you are all well and healthy!!
