Today I took Marc and Brynne, Ritha, her sister and Rode to see Ice. She is looking a lot better although she still has some pain. As you can see on the photos, the room she is in is actually quite nice and clean although very sparse. It is the first half of the white and yellow building on the bottom photo. The hospital is a series of buildings attached by covered walkways. The circular part with the pointed roof is the nurses station for the area that Ice is in. I think the nurses mostly hang around in there really... When I came to see Ice her IV had long since quite dripping and her blood was going up the tube. Of course she doesn't say anything about it... So I went to the nurses and told them about it and they immediately came to fix the problem (you can see her in the photo there doing her thing). Ritha said that my skin colour probably was the deciding factor in that. She's had the same thing when her sister-in-law was in the hospital and the nurses basically ignored her. It often happens here that those from other parts of the country don't show much care to those from this particular province, if you get my drift... Ice hadn't seen the specialist yet when I came so I hope it happened this afternoon but I'm not holding my breath.
