I was ready to leave Ghana, but apparently Ghana was not ready to leave me.
I woke up on the day of my flight with a fever, terrible diarrhea, and aches and pains all over. Barely being able to get out of bed, I was determined to make it to my flight. To see a doctor was going to be too long of an ordeal, I was determined to get home to see a doctor there.
Ibuprofen/Cipro/Peptobismol party all day I made it to my 11:15pm flight somehow and back to America in one piece this morning, feeling better.
I went from the airport straight to the doctor. A lovely experience with stool samples, results are pending, but the most likely suspects right now are cholera or typhoid. (Turns out the typhoid vaccine is not 100% effective)
Thanks, Ghana. My welcome-home party is now with fabulous antibiotics.
I am feeling much better though, fever is gone, and I feel tired, but that's probably just the jet lag. Thanks for all the continued support and prayers.
