Sorry I haven't written in a few days. I'm sick :-(
I slept all day yesterday and woke up to go to school but when I got to school I started feeling really yucky again. My lungs were hurting, my body ached, my throat was on fire, and I was really dizzy and freezing cold. I made it most of the day but at the advice of my co-teachers and Jane, I decided to go the doctor.
After finding a doctor that my insurance covered I located it, hopped on the metro, and went to see Dr. Stransky. He was very nice and spoke English pretty well. However, as I sat on the examining bed with the door to the room WIDE open he said, "Lift up this big dress thing you wear!" So after a slight hesitation and a peek around the corner, up with the "big dress thing". No shame.
I couldn't really understand what was wrong with me but it has something to do with a bacteria infection in my throat/lungs...I think it's like strep throat... Anyway, he gave me a prescription and I just picked up my antibiotics.
Before I left he smiled and said, "You can get this kind of sick in America, you don't need to come to Czech". I assured him that I would much rather be sick in Czech than in the states and he said, "Smart girl! Much cheaper to be sick in Czech!"
Now it's sleep time...in Czech.
More than anything I am just frustrated! I only have 1 month in this amazing country and I'm sick. Ugh.
Heal my body Lord!!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers
I love your comments :-)

Hi Kelsey,
Sorry to hear you are sick! Don't worry though, you'll be like new soon and you'll catch up with all the fun that is waiting for you.
At least the cat will have company for a few days! Maybe he can TEACH you some Czech.
Cheers,
Jitka
Praying for you! I hope you are feeling better. It is so frustrating being sick when you are traveling. Can't wait to here about more adventures!
