Sometimes having patience is a good thing. I could learn and have learned to be more patient with myself. This past weekend was relaxing, but not by choice. On Friday evening me and Kukua hung out. We ate and I taught her some steps. She was excited to learn some stepping. She wants to take them back and teach the kids at the church. After she left I laid down and began feeling wheezy. I had eaten some fufu earlier, not my favorite dish, and I figured it was something in there that made me feel bad. Around three am, I woke up in a cold sweat and ran to the restroom. After what was one attempt at throwing up, I fell back against the bathroom wall feeling dizzy and light headed. I laid down on the floor and placed my feet above my head. I felt a quick cooling sensation, I had never felt. I really thought I had come down with something terrible. After sometime I began to feel better but had a light headache.
The next day I had enough energy to go to Abrui Gardens with a friend. It was a botanical gardens about 30 min drive away from Accra. We took some food, wine, board games, and snacks and ate on the grounds. It was a small pic nic. very relaxing and we all had time to just chill and recap on the experiences. On the way back I started coming down with a fever. I thought it was Malaria. A fever onset by flu like symptoms. I rushed to the nearest pharmacy and got some anti malarial drugs. They are very strong. I took one and started feeling worse. Come to find out the pills was what was making me worse. I developed ab pain, kidney pain, and throat pain...all side effects listed on the side of the drug. Of course I stopped taking them immediately. I am still feeling those effects. I don't have Malaria, I don't think. If I would have just waited and been patient to see what was really wrong with me I could have avoided all the other pain that came. I guess, in a place with high Malaria outbreak you have no choice but to be over paranoid. I hope I am ok.
I will be back in the States tomorrow night. Much rest will be needed. But I will be glad to be home. I cannot wait to see family and friends.
I will put up a final post tomorrow.

J, Ghana is a malaria endemic country. You should have started taking malaria prophylaxis before you left for Ghana.
