Black Tongue
When I got home to US, I was brushing my teeth and my tongue was black. It was the last little scare from Suriname. No big deal, just a reaction to insane levels of antibiotics. I had to keep taking the Malaria meds even when I got home in case I had Malaria and didn’t know it. Diabla had some issue with her Spleen. It was medically covered by the Peace Corps, but turned out to be a nasty form of Endometriosis.
I had a great time in the Peace Corps. It was the grandest of adventures. I would do it again. Since my service, I have given countless talks in schools about my time there. I tried to send my language learning materials to the office in Paramaribo, but it never worked out.
