Malaria scare?

Okay, so I got sick. Sunday night, I got a pretty bad case of well...let's just say my body pretty much flushed itself out, from every opening possible. Eww! I had a little fever Monday, so decided to go get tested for Malaria Tuesday (fever is a pretty common side effect of Malaria). I got some Malaria drugs and then got a blood test. The hospital was quite an experience. Half of the hospital was outdoors, and well, it just wasn't a Western hospital. I got great care though, and I was out of there in about an hour. I got the results Thursday, but by then I was feeling almost back to normal so I was already thinking it wasn't Malaria. When I talked to the doctor about my results, turned out I had Samonella poisoning. Phew! Better than malaria, but still not fun.

So my stomach is still recovering. But I feel a million times better. The whole experience really made me thankful for some of the amenities of the US, like flushing toilets, ice cubes, gatorade, and lots of doctors. But I must also say that I'm really proud of myself for getting through this week! I was able to make it through a few days of sickness without my Mommy, but that doesn't mean I want to do it again. :-)
