very poorly

The day before we were due to fly home I got very ill all of a sudden.  My temperature shot up to $0C and I was covered in a rash.  

The local GP couldn't figure out what it was and we got directed to the hospital.  I stayed at the children's ward for over 4 hours.  Proper ill!

Luckily I felt better after a while.

I was discharged as I passed the "well enough to eat crisps" test.
