MIA

The past five days have got to be the longest ones in my life. It all started with a day and a half of high fevers. I slept a lot and managed to make it to my roomates wedding ceremony but was too sick to make it to the dinner. I was sorely dissapointed but had no other choice. The next day the fevers came back again so I started on Malaria medicine hoping that it was Malaria (and not Dengue, because there's no medicine for Dengue and it usually takes longer to get over). The malaria medicine made me over excited and I could not shut my brain off, I couldn't sleep but my head was in a fog so I couldn't really read or do much else. I tried but was only successful for short periods of time. I was also constantly sick to my stomch. The nights were the worst I'd just toss and turn for hours. I went for a blood test to determine exactly what I had but didn't make it clear that I wanted to be tested for Malaria and Dengue so all the blood test revealed was that I have a viral infection. So five days later I am still not back at work and going stir crazy. Today I feel a bit better and hope to go to the school tomorrow if only to get out of the house for a bit. Karen has also been sick so Randy's been busy trying to do it all himself. To top it all off it was exam week, not the best week to miss.

Kim you poor thing. I feel terrible for you. Hang in there and I will be praying for your health and your body adapting to the new environment.

Yikes! This is quite scary. Out of curiousity, Is there the same H1N1 scare there?
