Malaria Scare/ マラリアになったかと思った。

Monday morning this week, I woke up with pain in my stomach. I had some stomach problems, aching body and a bit of fever. I went to work, and someone told me to go see a doctor, since these symptoms can be malaria. In the afternoon, I managed to get to a doctor. The technician punctured my finger and squeezed blood out of it. It was painful, but I was too sick and tired to react to it. Good news was that the test came back as negative. I have been bitten by mossies only a few times since I came, so I would have had to be pretty lucky to get malaria. The rainy season will start in about a month or so, but I am not so looking forward to coming back to get more holes on my fingers…. (Needless to say getting malaria itself) What I had was probably some kind of flu. Thank Goodness! ああ良かった！
