Hello!
In the end everything turned out differently! I'm writing these lines from home, though my back wasn't the reason for my early return.
I fell ill,shortly before the long awaited holidays, and had to go to the hospital with severe headaches, high fever and vomiting.
I spent two nights there and in a CT that was being done on our request, they fond a mild brain edema (swelling of the brain).
It was possibly caused by a viral meningitis. It's not too bad because it goes away by itself, once the infection is fading away
but at least it explains the headaches.
After hearing this diagnosis, I cancelled my journey on short notice because I didn't feel save travelling remote areas in this condition.
My poor boyfriend had to unpack his luggage again and wave good-bye to our departing friends.
I'm still exhausted from all these exertions and need a bit of rest, but otherwise I'm feeling fine again.
I'm very glad to be home and with my family.
I will spend the christmas holidays in Belgium with Geerts family and will get in touch with all of you, in the new year!
Take care and see you soon
Anne
