Well I'm doing a lot better now. I have recovered from the malaria. My hand was pretty messed up for a while. I got phlebitis in my left hand, which is basically a scabbing of the vein where they hooked up the iv. But it has gotten better. So, I'm back to "normal" which is a bit of a relief. I'm taking some comfort in knowing that my experience really is one of the most messed up experiences in all of Peace Corps Ghana. I hope that means it's all better from here on.
I'm en route to my site. We have just completed our training and we have sworn in as Peace Corps Volunteers. It was a pretty cool moment. I'm pretty sure that we take the same oath as they do in the military.
Well I hope everything is well for you guys. Take care.

CONGRATS on your being sworn in as a Volunteer. I and, I am sure, all your readers and friends are very happy and proud of you!
I can hardly wait for the full version of your adventures in the Peace Corps. So far you have enough for a full book... yet it continues. Hopefully the next chapters, and the rest of the Book to be, will be MUCH happier and pain free.
You also have enough for a cool movie already!
Be careful and have fun in Lawra.
Hey Man, It's me... Brent!
WOW! Malaria?? That's intense! And do you know what else is intense? Campers. Get it? IN TENTS?!?! I hope you still have a sense of humor cause that joke SUCKED! We miss you here stateside. Remember Eric Miller? He's still an asshole. But he says hi. Jeff Lakin said hi too, but I wasn't listening. Did you hear about the fire down at the circus? it was IN TENTS! OHH! got you again! Seriously though, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better and you will be in all our thoughts and prayers. Keep on bloggin!
