Today, there\u2019s no story because I’m in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m currently at the hospital, writing this after 2 injections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I woke up this morning feeling so sick, I could hardly move. If I\u2019m being honest, it has been a long time coming, and I\u2019m just thankful to know where I really stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past 2 days<\/a> I\u2019ve been waiting patiently for a confirmation, and I finally have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s malaria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phewww.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week I took a COVID-19 test after I noticed some symptoms. I suspected it wasn\u2019t anything considering I had been staying safe, but I took a test just to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after taking the test, the symptoms became worse, as if to say \u201cHaha sucker! Sike!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I panicked for a bit but I didn\u2019t want to overthink anything. I just wanted to wait till the results were in. The COVID-19 test was negative, pheww, but the other ones showed I had malaria. Luckily I have health insurance and didn\u2019t have to pay a dime today at the hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visit to the doctor\u2019s office, 2 injections, and 3 disgusting yellow straight-from-hell anti-malaria pills later, I finally had time to pick up my phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still hadn\u2019t checked the notification from T until just now. I couldn\u2019t take any more pain. But wait\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It says here: \u201cT & Ope\u2019s Duo\u201d<\/em> ???<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T & Ope? T & Ope??!!!!
Okayyyyyyy\u2026. I can get used to this ?
Why was I even panicking? A whole spec like me. Of course T accepted it ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phewwww.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m thankful for Cowrywise and health insurance, but even more thankful for this win because I know health insurance doesn\u2019t cover everything – especially not heartbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I\u2019m able to get through this heap of pills by tonight, my weekend would be off to a great start. I\u2019m super exci- Owwwww!!
Why did this nurse just poke me like this ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ughhh, I hate injections so much. I just want my bed now. Sigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohh well, let me go look at my Duo<\/a> page again to be sure I wasn\u2019t seeing double.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cT & Ope\u201d has a nice ring to it, and now I can\u2019t stop smiling ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you passed by anybody at the hospital today blushing while taking injections (instead of screaming, like a normal person) – that was me. Madness, I know, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have an amazing almost weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love,
Ope ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
