Broken Toubab: Officially beyond repair

So, as the title suggests, despite two really wonderful sick-free days, when they ended I wound up right back where I started, and even a little worse due to dehydration. The doctors still have no clue what's going on, but since this is clearly unhealthy and has been going on so long, I'm being sent back to the US on Sunday, medically separated. The form I got said that if I can resolve this problem within a year I can get reinstated, and that is currently my goal, but the key is to find out what is causing the problem.

I'll probably be in Jersey for a few weeks at least, so if you're in the area let me know and we can hang out.

  1. Bah! Poor Sarah! I'm sorry your trip ended so lamely. It was great getting to read about your exciting adventures, though, and hopefully you'll figure out what's up when you return to the US and be back in the field in no time! In the meanwhile, if you're ever back around Chicago, give me (and "Us," for that matter), a call.
