Malaria strikes again

A partial root canal and then fever off and on for several days led me to believe my gums were fighting battle. And then it happened the fever, the chills, the nauseous feeling, the headache and aches everywhere came on ferociously! This was a horrible infection in my teeth or could it be malaria? Surely not, I thought. But it did feel like that especially as the fever spiked and went down. But Mark tested and put up two fingers to indicate there were two lines (yep, just like a pregnancy test two lines means positive).

I have actually recovered faster than the last time but malaria was a lot worse this time. I am grateful again for a bed, a fan (and the power to run it), medicines to get rid of the malaria and take down the fever. Small things that some in the villages nearby don't have and don't have acess to.
