Bonjour,
I'll just get right into it. This last week, on Monday, I tested at the apartment for malaria, and tested positive. Well, I figured that was coming, giving my symptoms and everything. So, we stayed in all day, and I even thought I was feeling better.
Then, I went to bed, and Tuesday at 1:45 am, I woke up, and felt absolutely terrible. My head and stomach felt like they were going to explode, and I felt like I couldn't really move my legs. So, I called the office couple, and thankfully they picked up in the middle of the night. They ended up taking me to the emergency room, where they tested me for malaria, again. This time, it came back negative, but they tested my blood again, and it was positive. They also ended up doing a bunch of other tests, and giving me an IV will we waited. We were there from 2ish am to 8:30 am Tuesday morning. Yeah, so we didn't go out and work that day.
Thankfully, I'm feeling a lot better now. I ended up getting some injections for malaria, and they even tripled the dose haha. We ended up going out these last couple of days, and preparing some of the people we're teaching for baptism. We didn't do anything crazy for the new year. Everyone was telling us that the new year celebration was gonna be crazy, and people were going to be partying until the 6th of January, but everything is pretty much normal still.
I can't believe it's 2022 already. It's crazy to think that I'll be going home THIS year, in August. I have completed my full year of service, 2021, to the Lord. I can't wait to see what 2022 has in store.
I hope everyone has a good year! Just a quick update over here.
Have a Happy New Year,
Elder Orchard
Here are a few pictures. Unfortunately, none from the hospital.
