I got a crazy random tropical disease and I ALMOST DIED!!!!

But I did have something that caused me to be admitted into hospital in Brisbane on Sunday (the day I was supposed to be flying to Melbourne!) with a 41 degree fever. And aches, and nausea, and headaches, and sore throats, and dying (kinda). They poked me lots and sucked out lots of blood, and Yehia sat beside me looking worried, and they decided that they just couldn't figure out what was wrong. My temperature had settled down enough yesterday for them to let me out. The doctor's parting words were:
"If it comes back, and the doctors in Melbourne can figure out what it is, can you tell us? Coz it's kind of weird, and kind of interesting, and we want to know..."

Good grief - that's awful! And scary! Blimmin' scary!
I'm sorry - I hope it doesn't come back. Do you have to go for more tests?

Yes, it is enough excitement for one week. I've certainly had enough, and I'm not planning on having any more of it! I'm not sure if I need any more tests, I'm kind of pretending that it's all ok... Touch wood...
