Fever lays you down

Erin and I arrived back in Bangkok at the same time, and headed back home. But some how, within the 5 days of coming back she contracted her second case of Dengue. I'm not sure how that happened, or how I managed to escape it.

She ended up spending 4 days in the hospital with a varied skin rash that could have passed for a fresh sunburn, and a continuous round the clock guard from the girls in her office. Not to mention extreme body pain and nausea. The first day Erin's boss spent hours blotting her face with a damp washcloth. Apparently we as westerners, were only expected to arrive periodically with gifts of yogurt and croissants from 7-11. I think we're percieved as somewhat calous.
