Update 15: catching fever and ridding it in a Madurai Hospital

Hello there friend:

Since doing the fantastic backwaters trip in Alleppey I have had a fever. After going to the Chinese fishing nets of Fort Cochin and the tea plantations of Munnar with a couple friends, I arrived in Madurai. Still having not gotten rid of the fever, I checked into a hospital.

The testing and diagnosis has been a see-saw story, best explained in the blog entries. Besides, the nurses have only let me out of the hospital for an hour and a half, and I have already broken my time limit to get my blog entries up.

To save you the suspense and worry of reading the blog, antibiotics have gotten rid of my fever and they will discharge me from the hospital in a couple of days when they are convinced it is gone for good.

But you should read the blog anyway. This has been an unusual twist in my travel, totally unanticipated. Once more it tells me my fate is not completely in my hands; apparently it is in someone else's.

Take care, enjoy the December holiday season.

Mark
