Hey Bibigul, that's my mother-in-law's name. She talks about more than her health- namely the health of her children, neighbors, and other loved ones- but you're in good company.
When I used to write training booklets for surveyors and monitors in Tajikistan and Afghanistan, the characters were always Bibijaan and Bobokhaan, or the reverse in Northern Tajikistan, where men are "jaan" and women are "khaan". The people found it hilarious...
I started this blog to keep in touch with friends and family while I'm in Afghanistan. I use this blog to vent and explain (to others and myself) why I love Afghanistan so much.
I'm anonymous, so if you know my name - please don't use it. I've been told that only lame people are anonymous and this blog has turned out to be an open secret but it makes me feel better. Perhaps I'll come 'out' when/if I'm independently wealthy and I don't ever have to think about getting a job...

and she'll tuck you in too - it's one of her many skills! Hope you're feeling better. Let me know if there is anything I can do.
