Another episode: A woman came into the OPD in Mochudi and complained of nausea and vomiting. We were stealing glances at each and rolling our eyes when her husband produced a jar full of what came up and it looked like wide white spaghetti, only it was segmented. Oh reeeaaaly. So we took a closer look and were surprised to see the segmented remnants of a tape worm! We put her on meds, and the pharmacy had them which was surprising and a relief.
Today I swam again. The pool is dirty, a little like swimming in a pond, but it’s all that I have. I did a 4-4-4 warm up then 4x200 on the 3:20, then 4x100 on 1:40. Slow intervals I know but the best I can hold for the moment. I might get better although it’s raining tonight and the pool, like all pools in the area, is unheated. It always takes a 50-75 to get used to the water. But tomorrow it might be impossible to swim because of the temperature.
Love the rain. Things might green up around here. The trees are in full bloom but the grasses and shrubs will stay brown until after Christmas. Very different from last year.
Best to all…

Glad you are getting in the pool and hope the rain doesn't make it too cold to swim. We had rain here last night as well, although it's 41 outside now with a fair amount of leaves down too - fall is really here.
Hope you and Lynne have a great trip to the delta. We miss you and really enjoy your blog posts.
Hugs!
