sick, sick, sick...

well, we have basically spent the last month in pulau weh, with either one, two or all three of us sick the entire time. we hardly got any diving in. bummer. now we are in k.l. have been to hospitals and doctors, and everyone has a different opinion, annoying. anyway, at the hospital in indonesia i was diagnosed with dengue fever, the doctor said it was very dangerous and we should not leave, but our flight was that afternoon, and our visa was up. so she made us promise to go to a hospital here in k.l., which we did but he seemed to think dengue was nothing big at all, and i could just continue suffering for about two more weeks. meanwhile thomas had begun to display similiar symptoms, but the doctor did not even want to do a test on him. i have to say, he left me feeling a bit disappointed. i have been vomiting and unable to keep food down for the last two weeks, which means i am very weak, among other things, but he did not seem concerned at all. apparently i have a bladder infection, which concerned him more than anything else, strange. anyway, now i am doing mildly better, but thomas sounds like he is dying, poor guy. farfar and farmor have been doing more than their part from all the way back in sweden, calling doctors and insurances, and waiting who knows how long in telephone queues. we really have appreciated their help. hopefully we can all just get better soon. we are so sick of being sick. luckily zoe has been healthy the last couple of weeks anyway.
