So I've been feeling pretty sick lately, and yesterday I went to the doctor to get some medications. I'm pretty sure I have a sinus infection, so I was able to get some antibiotics, cough syrup, and pills to help with all the mucus. Yum!
The doctors here are funny. They tell you things like, "always wear socks" and "drink lukewarm water" and "don't shower for 5 days." I was like, excuse me? I may be sick but I don't want to be smelly. So I woke up this morning feeling a lot better, and I decided to try and take a shower. Oh my goodness, it was the best shower I've ever had. All the showers I've had here so far have been cold to lukewarm. My shower this morning was HOT.
It's amazing how a hot shower here can be so encouraging - something I've always taken for granted in the States. I felt so loved by God from a simple shower! Anyway, I'm thinking about how I'll come home in 3 months and get used to hot showers again. I don't want to take things for granted...so I'm thinking about ways to appreciate all the gifts I have at home. I really am so blessed.
