intravenous
ok, so i may as well get this over with. the holiday didn't go quite exactly as i planned. the idea was that we would hire a car and drive along the south coast to cape town. we were going to do some shark diving, sandboarding, go up to
table mountain, visit the
penguin beach. unfortunately all that went out the window when i was hospitalised with pneumonia! i felt ok at the start of the holiday, and after spending all day at the
beach i felt a bit faint and feverish. i put this down to sunstroke and thought i'd just take it easy. however i soon developed a cough and when i didn't improve i went to see a doctor who ordered blood tests and an x-ray. one look at the x-ray and the doc said i needed to go to hospital and get antibiotics immediately. so they stuck this in my arm and i stayed there for five days. so... hope you like hospital photos!
i changed the colour of this to make it look a bit more cold and clinical, here's the nice warm
