It is Wednesday and I have had some diarrhea for a couple of days and crampy stomach. I had to leave my classroom this afternoon from noon until 1:30 and lay down in the nurses's office -- I went to the Gulf Diagnostic Centre and waited about 1 hour -- saw a doctor -- got prescriptions for free and my visit cost me AED 50 which is approx. $16.00. Everything was covered by my school medical insurance (drugs, tests, dr.) -- I only had to pay the $16.00 bucks. I have gastroenteritis, which is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. A student in my class was just in hospital for this very same condition -- I believe I caught it from her. So many germs and viruses floating around in the classroom. I clean most days with Lysol Bleach, but I must be more diligent. They clean the desks, but not thoroughly -- I will have to start doing this nightly. The doctor is requesting a stool sample to check whether or not this is viral or bacterial. I am laying low tonight and hopeing this passes. I am still in limbo regarding my Friday departure for Muscat, Oman. If I don't get a positive response from the travel agent by tomorrow then the trip is off and it will be just a few days in Dubai and going into school to catch up and just rest for the Eid-al-Fitr week holiday.
Enjoy the pictures -- there are more to come soon,

ReplyDeleteOh no!! Rumble tummy!! Get plenty of rest and be good to yourself.
Sixteen dollars for an office visit - I'd be getting tucked, pulled, Botoxed, and Obama'd Arms for that medical care!
