The first half of our trip in the states has been crazy! We
got into the country on Friday March 23 and within a week or so, it was
official that we were getting married on Sunday May 13!
The last time I came home from Mozambique my jetlag, or
re-entry was extremely difficult. I was hoping that bring a bit of Moz back
with me would make re-entry much easier. Nope. While it was so great having
Nunu, I couldn’t get past jetlag. My back was so sore and all my body wanted to
do was sleep.
I started wondering if I had Malaria or something, but then
I would wake up the next morning feeling better and put off going to the
doctor. Finally 2 weeks after arriving home, I knew something was really wrong.
I woke up and was supposed to drive 3 hours but I didn’t feel safe, so I went
back to bed for a few hours before making the trip. Later that night I had the
chills for about 2 hours, followed by an hour of sweating.
It was the Saturday before Easter and I was in Sawyer, MI. I
was determined to make it through the weekend and head to the Doctor on Monday
when I arrived in Chicago.
When I made it to the Doctor that Monday, he said he thought
I had bronchitis. I’ve never had bronchitis and I didn’t even have an actual
cough.
