Yep, Frank says Dengue. He and Victor called the local version of the cdc and it turns out there is an outbreak happening. I've turned a corner and am back to the land of the living, after two treatments and some herbs. Apparently the cycle happens this way, you feel better after a few days and a smaller episode hits again around 6 days later. Now the awful pain behind my eyes is mostly gone and the ache is receding. Before the fever broke it was pretty painful (spine, hips, femurs,eyes), but apparently I had a mild case on the spectrum of things. The moral of the story is that you should always travel with your own personal team of acupuncturists!
I probably won't work for a while, so now that I'm not doing anything productive and have nothing to report I have lots of time to report it :)
The rest of the team looks tired to me, all except Dan who still has time to blog and do tech stuff in addition to treating large numbers of patients.
I'll keep you in the loop but just wanted to let you know I'm on the mend.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Karen ... this is all just part of the plan to build your 3rd world cred ...!
Oh my god... I'm so glad you're okay! I thought it would just be food poisoning or something when you said you weren't feeling well. Dengue sounds so serious!
Well, one more week and you'll be home, where Parka and Chili and the little yellow house and the little yellow rose await...
Karen,
It has been 5 days...
Could you give us here a little more info, we are all thinking about you and Sara and sending our love.
