Room Change and Health Update

As our audience knows, I had been suffering from a cold for the last few days. The good news is that my cold is dead. The bad news is that what it took to kill it was acquiring a high fever, the kind usually accompanying severe, knee-buckling food poisoning. The night we arrived in Ko Tao, we had dinner at the neighboring restaurant where something, probably the anchovies on top of my curry, made us change our room to the local health clinic. Heidi deserves serious Super Girl points for getting me from a crumpled heap on the bathroom floor to the necessary medical attention. Long story short, we spent all of yesterday and last night at the hospital, where I was pumped full of fluids and antibiotics. We checked out this morning with a pocket full of pills after making a donation to build a new temple. Instead of moving back to our cursed budget resort, we have since moved into an upscale luxury location on the north end of the island. The view is lovely, and so is the flush toilet. Going out to dinner now...I'm thinking pizza.

Don't eat anything until you get back. Hope you get to enjoy the rest of the trip.

I'm glad you're feeling better, Keith. The resort with the infinty pool looks much more comfortable!
(BTW, my sister had those exact bedsheets that are on the hospital bed back in the 70's.)
