Health issues

Another unexpected trip to Addis Ababa. I arrived on Sunday afternoon. Upon exiting the airport I headed to the underpass to find a line taxi, the first people I ran into were some boys who wanted me to buy something. I was annoyed because I kept telling them to go away, I didn't want anything, but one boy was persistent and grabbed my shirt a couple times. On Monday, I had a CT Scan, not so fun. I still have a bruise on the back of my hand from the needle. I was a nervous wreck waiting for the results. I didn't get them until Tuesday afternoon. Luckily everything came back normal. So then I waited to hear what would happen next. Okay, I probably should back track. In one of my previous posts I mentioned that I was having headaches and a teary right eye. So that is why I returned to Addis Ababa yet again. The CT Scan confirmed that my sinusitis was cleared up by the antibiotics. However, there was no information about why my eye was still tearing. So I didn't hear anything again until Thursday morning when I went to the Peace Corps Office and met with one of the PC doctors. The PC doctor told me that Regional Medical (South Africa) said I could go ahead with the procedure the eye doctor wanted me to have last time I was in town. This procedure is called Diagnostic Probing and Irrigation. Yeah, doesn't that sound fun. Well, it's not. I had the procedure done on Thursday afternoon and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. Luckily, PC has amazing doctors and I had one by my side (except during the procedure, he wasn't allowed to come back), however he was right there for me when it was over and before it began when I was terrified. I was the worst. I was in pain. I've been having headaches since the procedure and my eye has hurt on and off. Now, I'm still in Addis Ababa because I have to go back to the eye doctor and see if the procedure worked. Oh, I forgot to tell you why I had this procedure. The eye doctors think I have a blocked tear duct, so the procedure was to unblock the duct and clear it out. I'm unsure if it is unblocked because during the procedure I was suppose to feel water in the nose or throat and I didn't feel anything but a lot of water/eye drops running out my eye and into my ear. So I go back Monday, in hopes that everything is better. Trust me you don't want to know some of the things I've worried about this past week that could be going on. I'm not sure what the next step will be if the tear duct isn't unblocked. I've been trying to stay clear of all that and letting the PC doctor take care of things. So until Monday, I'm in Addis hanging out with a headache. I so hope to figure out what is going on. Please keep me in your prayers, I could really use them right about now! Thanks! Much love!!! <3
