Well, after having a rough night, John decided not to go on the trip to Waiheke Island after all. You pronounce Waiheke, WHY-HE-KEY.
Anyway, Cathy said that she could drop John off at a medical clinic in Westlake before she went to pick up the rest of the group. John happily agreed. He seems to have a fever at night which drops off and becomes during the day. He saw a doctor who said he didn't have the flu but rather a chest cold with bronchitis. Rest, lots of fluids, and vitamin C is all he needs.
John took the bus back to Devonport, happy to know that his condition is temporary. He had to change busses at Takapuna where he used to live but had 40 minutes to kill. The link below gives the schedule.

Since it is Sunday there was a huge farmer's market going on. John bought himself freshly squeezed orange juice that was more like real oranges than any other OJ he has had.
The day is sunny - the second one in a row! He may go for a walk with his camera. Today it's Devonport's Santa Claus parade, which seems weird because te temp is going up to 20, the plants are growing, and the flowers are blossoming.

Bronchitis is not fun! Take it easy. How horrible to get sick when your far from home.
ReplyDeleteHope you've dried out red back pack. With temps in the 20's that should help!
