Drumroll

I'm a hypochondriac!

Well, no, not exactly. It turned out not to be malaria after all, but the symptoms did fit, so it wasn't exactly far-fetched. Most likely, it was just some gastroenteritis of some form or other. I'll only have the final diagnosis on Monday.

I'm back home now, after having spent the night at the hospital, taking various blood tests and workups. It's interesting being on this side of the needles for once.

    The drama's happening behind the curtains unfortunately. I'm back at home now, and have been told to drop by on Monday to hear the results :P

    Who knows, perhaps they've got their little whiteboard up this very moment?

    (I don't believe an IgE's been taken, but I've never had allergic reactions to foods before at the very least...)
