Letter from Home

Hey kind friends,

I don't really know how to approach this email, mainly because I feel like it opens the door for more questions than answers. As (very) few of you have heard, I am back in California, lying in bed at my parents' house falling asleep every 6 hours for every 1 hour I am awake. I had to leave Kenya to come to the U.S. because of an incredibly painful mysterious bleeding ulcer. The good news is, apparently it is not an ulcer, just stomach lesions. (is that too gross, too much info? not sure)

1. What happened?
I have no idea, and I am waiting to hear back on the endless tests run at the hospital.

2. Are you going back to Kenya?
I honestly don't know, but the one thing that's certain is I cannot go back in my previous capacity.

3. What will you do next?
I don't know, but I'll be unemployed and sleeping at least through 2007.

4. What's your phone!?
The same as it was before; apparently if you reactivate w/in 6 mos. you get your old number back. Oh, silver linings.


I know this is curt and doesn't tell you anything interesting, but I wanted to answer a few of the questions I've been getting over email. Please forgive me if my answers are not prompt or thorough or if I cannot call you in a timely way. I am just so tired.

Am wishing you the best and hope you are all well,
Camille
