I
can't say much about today because I've spent most of the time
asleep, the only way I know how to deal with a migraine – the
second side effect of a narcotic (“but tramadol isn't an narcotic”
says the pharmaceutical! - I can see why people who like the “high”
of a narcotic wouldn't like it if it has all the side effects and
none of the "upper").
Two
people left – by Ethiopian airlines and by the technique of simply
going to the airport and hanging around until they found a flight out
to anywhere. They will be in Morocco looking for the next flight out
of Morocco. Not a bad technique but not one that I could take on at
this time.
I
am well cared for, the remaining woman of our team came into the room
to check upon me in regular intervals – more than I knew because
she often found me asleep.
The
fierce headache has me looking up symptoms of malaria and constantly
feeling my forehead (??). Do I have a fever? No. Could I have some
other sort of debilitating illness? When there is already a known connection, why look for worse? What if it is a subarachnoid bleed? Goodness, I'm as bad as a medical student!
It's
a bit of a relief to wake at midnight feeling weak but better. Now
to heal the back and open the airport to Brussels Air by Sunday
night. Wednesday is supposed to be a day of protest but no one seems
to know who is doing the protesting nor whether they are pro or anti
coup.
Needless to say I won't be going anywhere.
