The best news this morning; my blood test was negative for Malaria critters! I still have to stay until I take my last dose of choloroquine tomorrow, but after that, I can go home!
Well last night was interesting. The first thing that I want to point out is how *uncomfortable* it is when you have a fever. No wonder sick babies cry so much!
After I checked in yesterday, I got my first dose of chloroquine, but I also got some ibuprofen. An hour later, I felt pretty normal. But over the course of the evening, my fever came back. This morning, it was all the way up to 101.2, I felt like hammered dirt.
600 milligrams of motrin later, my fever is down and I'm feeling human again.
A super violent thunderstorm blew over last night, and a fire alarm went off. The storm was pretty, but the alarm was obnoxious. Walking around an enormous empty building while a disembodied voice warns you to evacuate...I felt like I was in a Science Fiction movie.
Can't wait to go home tomorrow!

the fire alarm video sounded pretty surreal. I like your description of it as a science fiction movie. Can't wait for you to come home, Dad!
I can't believe I watched the whole thing--but waiting for the thunder/lightning and evac announcement was worth it. Creepy.
Seriously, I was hoping Ripley would walk around the corner fighting the Alien Mother.
