Malaria :(

Just got back from the hospital. This is by far the worst feeling in the world. Diagnosed with “Malaria” and I have to be bed ridden for up to 2 weeks! Apparently I picked it up from some mozzies along teh Myamar border.

Went out last night and all of a sudden, I just broke out in bites. Literally COVERED in them from head to toe. I look like something from the weirdo section in the Guinness book of world records.

Went up to my room at about midnight to get some money to go out and just collapsed on my bed. Woke up 12 hours later with the worst fever and body ache in the world. My back is killing me now. What’s the cure? Drink water! Ahhhhh!

I dont really think I can type any more, I am in too much pain.

By the way, I WAS wearing my deet mammy! Its useless, I’m just so tasty!

I’m really down right now and I dont want my friends to sit in with me but I just want someone to ring me. 🙁 I’m really sad and pissed off. This ruined my holiday.

    hey dave

    dont worry about it, all part of the adventure, and the region your in.
    sure once you get over this it will be back on the beaten track,

    your one of very few people i know who say they are going on an adventure and actually go on an adventure, trekking in jungles, rafting, raft breaks, loose money, gets malaria, gets arrested for dropping a smoke.

    your nutter,once your over this i want more crazy stories from the greatest adventurer of them all

    Good to hear you’re on the mend. Sounds like “a poxy dose”. Anyway keep the stories coming for those of us stuck here in “the real world”. God knows we could use the distraction. Fair play to you for having the cajones to do it bro. We’re all behind you…literally…go talk to your REAL FRIENDS!

    Bren.

    p.s. the site rocks.
