Byouki! Sick!

Sunday night I was feeling pretty rubbish. I had a slight temperature, but not too bad. I woke up on Monday feeling even worse. My bosy was achey, and I just felt really run down. My temp was up to about 38.5 degrees. As the day went on, I got more and more achey and shivery, and my temp hit 39.3 degrees. So at about 9 Bikke and Katsuhiko decided to take me to the hospital. I think I was a bit delerious by that stage, the whoe thing seemed really surreal. My bosdy was so sore though. Felt like I had taken the mother of all beatings. The doctor checked me out, said a bunch of shit I didnt understand. My blood pressure was high. Then they stuck a swab up my nose. It was hidious!! This was so they could check if I had influenza or just a cold. If it was the flu, they would have admitted me for a minimum 2 days! So LUCKILY it turned out to be what they refer to as a common cold. Seriously, it didn`t feel like a common anything to me, that was the worse I can remember feeling in a REAL long time. Oh, and get this! $280! That how much it cost!! Insane!! Luckily Bikke and Katsuhiko paid for me, as I didnt have any cash. I`ll pay them first chance I get and then claim in back when I get back to NZ (minus the excess of course!).

Anyway, I got a bunch of meds prescribed, took them and went to bed. Woke up an hour later totally soaked! Ew. Had broken sleep the rest of the night, sweating so much.

Now its Monday lunchtime and my fever has slowly been dropping. I`m feeling better. Head is still pounding, body is still a bit sore, but i`m a lot better. Hopefully well enough for my trek tomorrow. I may have to forgo Hiroshima this time, as i`m still feeling quite weak and dont`t know if i`m up to it. I`ll see tomorrow I guess!

Worst timing ever!
