He's getting away with murder - Days 29-33
It seemed it was time to notify a few local newspapers about my fasting. Not so I would be in the news, but so the subject of Darfur would be in the local news.
The article that ran was so full of errors it makes me want to run to the local journalism school and say take her diploma away! Five errors, not the least of which was saying thousands are starving, when there are millions. This is why I prefer to just avoid contacting our local media. But how else to get information to people in the community?
The President of Sudan has dug his heels in and continues to defy the international community by saying that he'll provide peacekeeping troops instead of the UN! How ludicrous. But he is getting away with murder. And no one seems able to stop him from decimating his own civilian population.
The doctor quoted in the article on me answered my email today saying I should go to the ER on my final day and ask for blood tests for electrolyte abnormalities. It was very good of him to reply. I will go there on July 5th. This advice provides me with guidance and a sense of security that specialists will be looking after me. He specifically advised I take a battery of blood tests to monitor potassium and phosphorus levels. (Sounds like a soil test in the garden! LOL!)
