Dear Readers
I have a confession
I have been keeping something from you. On a post on the 27th January I mentioned that I had been unwell since arriving in Ghana and I mentioned my: Ghanaian Hospital Visit
Anyway, the truth is I have never fully recovered, and indeed things got much worse. This is a very long story – but an interesting one, that will have to wait to another day.
In short, getting ill in a Third World Country is a pretty serious thing – especially when you end up being misdiagnosed several times.
Don’t get me wrong – I am not having a go at Ghana or the Ghanaian people – they are just lovely and so so kind, but things we take for granted elsewhere are just not available here.
What you need to know is that I am on my way back to the UK for hospital treatment today – and it is believed I will make a full recovery. I don’t mind admitting, at times I was scared.
I did not want this to be a long post – but it seems to be dragging on a bit, just as soon as I am fit enough, I will give a full run down on my “life enriching experience”. (Well, my Dad says it is Life Enriching – and talks about “war stories” and such like, but I am yet to be convinced of this)
You may well ask – how did I keep posting. The truth is that my Dad, (Barry Dunlop) Dean Hunt and my good friend Alistair (who is here with me in Ghana) have been looking after things. I could not speak but I was just about able to write up some ideas for posts and let Barry, Dean and Alistair do the rest. Even this post now, will be uploaded by my Dad – so if there are any grammar or spelling mistakes this time – it is all his fault, not Dyslexic me Image may be NSFW.

If you have emailed me and I have not replied – I apologise – if there is anything urgent please email info@midascode.co.uk and either Barry Dunlop or Dean Hunt will assist.
Finally here is a photograph from Sunday 3rd of February – at that time, I was just starting to come out in a rash (which hopefully you can see in the photograph). That rash which very quickly just about covered my whole body (Think Road Kill) was initially diagnosed as Heat Rash.
Hopefully you understand my reluctance to mention this in detail at this time – I am emotionally and mentally strong, but physically I am quite week. As soon as I can – I will “talk” about the whole experience a bit more.
In the meantime – if anyone wants to guess what my final Diagnosis was – I might just offer a website review or something like that, for the first person to get it right. Study the Photo and let me have your best guess.
