John has a continuing health problem that causes severe blood loss through anal
bleeding when he strains himself or overworks physically.
For the last two weeks he has been pushing his limits. First he made a trip to the
city of Koforidua by public transport over very rough and bumpy roads. Shortly
after he got back to Accra he helped the carpenter build his house on the beach
there. He then immediately took another trip to Koforidua to take money to the
matron who is caring for six year old Gofred to pay for his medicines and his
schooling. As a result of all of the strain John wound up in the hospital, very
weak and debilitated. Aside from the sheer physical weakness the white of his eyes
turned color and he had a hard time focusing. Even staying awake was an effort.
John was given several drips and also a blood transfusion. The doctors told him he
needed medicine but he didn't have the money for it so he simply went home, where
he had a very difficult several days until the funds were available for his
medicines. He bought those yesterday and now has been told to rest for two or three
days without straining himself further.
It has been a very difficult time for John, and most of it was because he tried to
help a child in need.
