Update from the Surgery

Quick reminder the Surgery is the local expat oriented medical centre in Kampala
Dr. Stockly, the tropical medicine doctor is lovely.

He says I have Giardia.

But he was nice about it - and gave me the cheap, WHO recommended, treatment, unlike the other doctor who guess it might be Giardia wanted me to start the sh 45,000 treatment and charged me sh 20,000 for her guesses.

Two tabs of Albendezole a day for five days.

"It's a bit like giving candy to the kiddies," he says doling out the meds, and popping one in his mouth in the process.

He's right - you suck on them, and they are sweet. I have definitely taken worse!
