Sick in a foreign land, reknown to be one of lifes worse experiences. I woke up this morning with throbbing ears and it hurt to swallow. I’vê been sick hundreds of times and whenever I’m feeling crummy I usually have a sense of feeling weak and alone. But this time its different Fabiano, Thiago, Juliana and Fabiola have all been treating me so kind. Now that I’m ill I’ve gotten a better understanding of how much they really care about me. Each one of them stops in my room to check up on me and bring me medecine or água. Fabianos told me he would rather leave me in Valença (the countryside two hours north of Rio) with his parents if I continue to stay sick. No one wants that to happen because of all I’d miss out on here at Kreatori. Whenever I got sick at home growing up Mom would make me a nest and have the nurses watch me. My nurse was my dog, Kelly. It was a weird Mom joke but it’s stuck with me. Kreatori has a new member, Chico, the wiener dog. He’s been a good nurse, sticking close and making me smile. This being sick experience has opened my eyes to just how special these people are I’m surrounded by. I’ve got alot to learn here and I think I’ve met the perfect people to learn from.
