Deja Vu

Same place. Mombasa. Same room in Generalate house. Same person. Me. Different condition though. Remember my post about mosquitoes when I was here last time ten days ago? Came back this afternoon from Bura Motherhouse sick, sick, sick...that malaria never went away. Three doses of duo-cotexin in the span of a month time didn't help. It struck again with vengeance. I'm sure that night I described in that post contributed to my present condition. Truly,  I don't wish anyone, not even my worst enemies, to go through this...Everything you can imagine with strong malaria, it's happening to me. And tomorrow I'm flying back to Dar and then to Mwanza and to Kiabakari. I hope I won't fall apart...

Mosquitos

I just can't sleep. Not only because it is my chronic problem of sleeplessness since long, but this room I am in, here in Mombasa Generalate house of Sisters of St. Joseph, has so many mosquitoes, it is impossible to sleep! I don't know where they were hiding during the afternoon hours, as I didn't spot any...There is this mosquito net over the bed, but it is ill fitted, too small and too tight, so I can't use it... not even a fetus-like position would help!
