So I’m really sick.
I was talking to Apsi today, and told her that my fever still hasn’t gone away completely. Note- I’ve had this now for THREE WEEKS. So even though I don’t make a big deal about being sick, I’m starting to get a bit worried.
This whole thing started off as a cold/flu thing with sniffles, coughing, etc., and stomach pain. Then it progressed to just the stomach pain, and nausea and the aforementioned fever. Now I’m stuck with body pains, fever, nausea, stomach problems and fatigue.
Finally I went to a doctor. Guess what it could turn out to be?
Typhoid.
Whoa. I know. It’s a scary thought for those of us who lived most our lives in the West, but apparently it’s not too uncommon here. You take medication for it as long as it’s treated in time, and boom you’re back to normal. But I have to wait until Saturday for the first set of blood test results to come back, and until Monday night for the second set of blood cultures to come back. So we’ll see what happens.
In the meantime, I can barely sleep, I’m tired, feel like throwing up all the time, and all in all feel like crap.
Yay.
