And then there was.....me

Waiting for her taxi :(

Finally Daisy was allowed out of the hospital! YAY :D although of course even that couldn't be simple. The hospital was a ten minute walk from the hotel. I should know, I walked there and back every single day she was there. But first assist decided that she had to take a taxi. Which took them 8 hours to book. Then, the taxi turned up at the hotel saying that I needed to go to the hospital to pick Daisy up. However I refused to go, since Daisy was perfectly capable of walking out of the door and into a car, since amazingly enough she was still able to walk (a fact which the insurance company seemed to be ignoring).

When Daisy arrived at the hotel she was outraged. The taxi the insurance company had booked was actually more of a private car, which are much more expensive. Despite the fact that the journey from the hospital to the hotel was only meant to be eight dollars, Daisy was charged 100 dollars! Apparently 50 dollars was for taking me to the hospital - despite the fact that I never got in the car, and 50 dollars for taking Daisy back to the hotel. Daisy started arguing with the taxi driver, and in fact didn't even have enough money on her to pay. But thankfully she was rescued by the lovely guy at reception who sorted it all out.

A couple of days later we had to go visit another doctor for a check-up. The doctor revealed that Daisy's blood tests had come back with a low level of the vitamin B12, so she was going to need multiple injections of it to try to get her levels up. She also decided that Daisy would need to have another G-scope and an endoscopy which understandably Daisy was not particularly happy about. She was also told to go a nutritionist to try to help with her acid problems, and a physiotherapists to show her some easy exercises to do.

a present from Daisy to keep me company!

However, the insurance company finally decided that enough was enough and ordered Daisy home. To be fair to them, I can understand why. There was still no diagnosis and they had been paying for all the bills for both of us for almost a month, with absolutely no progress on Daisy's case. So the rest of Daisy's time in Namibia was waiting for her to finally get her visa so that she could leave the country.

Almost a week later we had the good news that the visa was finally confirmed. so we went to go see Robert to pick it up. He was actually really lovely and took us to Joe's Beer House for a drink, where he listened patiently as we ranted about the events in Tses over the last few months. Surprisingly he hadn't known that we were yet to be paid and that we weren't being fed at our project - even though this was something we had been saying for months! But he promised to send an email off about it.

So the next day Daisy left. It was a short goodbye, neither of us could have managed if it had lasted much longer! And so Daisy headed back off to England while I returned to the Hotel, waiting to set off to Tses the next day.
