On Thursday (Aug. 5), I had severe nose bleed, a lot worse than the one I had in Salt Lake City. My uncle took me to the emergency room at the university hospital. It was so bad that clots of blood were coming out. I felt that blood was gonna come out of my ear. The doctors had difficulty stopping the blood.  But finally they did. They packed my nose with something like a cotton ball.  Every time I swallow it hurts. They will remove it on Monday. Today I’m sick with the flu although I’m taking an antibiotic for my nose. I got it from my aunt. I hope I recover or at least improve by Tuesday because I have a long trip ahead of me. It’s so quiet today. Tomorrow, my aunt’s niece and her family will come for the wedding. The house will be full. My cousins will come too. It rained a lot last night. There was lightning. Looking forward to coming home and seeing you.  I’m going to the hospital to get it removed. It’s been so painful especially when I swallow, eat or drink. In addition I’m sick with the flu. Imagine having a running nose with a congestion and one nostril closed. I trying to help myself recover or at least feel better by Tuesday because I have a long trip a head. I miss you a lot. I have not been going to the mall because I’m weak.
