Day 8: Saturday January 28th

I woke up feeling awful so I went to the clinic with Carlos, a Spanish and English speaker. In the clinic, you pay 30 soles for a consultation with the doctor. We only had to wait like 5 minutes then the nurse called us in. She took my temperature and my blood pressure. My temperature was 39 degrees Celsius, which is about 102 degrees Fahrenheit. I needed to get tested for infections and Typhoid but they said they couldn't test me until my temperature went down. So they gave me two GIANT injections. One in my hip, and the other in my arm vein. Each shot took like 5 minutes to push in because she had to do it so slowly. It hurt pretty bad, especially because I already felt like crap. But after about 20 minutes, my fever was practically gone and I didn't feel nauseous anymore. So they tested my blood for typhoid, and about an hour later I found out that YAY I'm Typhoid free. :) But I do have an infection. I got some antibiotics, so I hope these things work.
