I'll want to remember this

I'm in a hospital right now in Varanasi. Just wanted to capture this moment in time.
It started right before I went to bed during my last night in Kolkata. I thought something was up, but didn't give it much thought. Went to bed too late only to wake up at 4am for my 5:55 flight to Varanasi (connecting in Dehli). Felt miserable the entire time.
Finally arrived in Varnasi and took my hour long cab ride into the town, after giving myself about 20 minutes to catch my breath. I knew I had a fever, but didn't know how bad.
Once I arrived at my hostel (luckily owned by an Ayurvedic doctor, who unluckily was not there), his daughter and her husband took incredibly good care of me, sitting in my room for hours, putting a cold compress on my head, covering me with blankets, and tending to my every request. These people are so incredibly nice, I couldn't express my appreciation enough.
When I finally mustered the strength to dig through my bag to get my first aid kit, the thermometer read 103. This is about 6 or 7 hours after trying to ride it out in the guesthouse. At this point, after repeated suggestions from the owners, we took a cycle rickshaw to the hospital, where I currently sit.
I thought malaria, but the blood test they worked overnight said it was negative. I then put two and two together and realized that I had fish at my wonderful Bengali meal two nights ago. As soon as I said this, they told me that they don't serve fish fresh here...they freeze it. It definitely was infected, even though the place I went to was top quality (with prices to match).
They hooked me up to an IV after I had arrived. I've been a bit nervous throughout this experience, making sure I look that each needle used is unwrapped for the first time, etc. Too many horror stories. But, this hospital seems to be good quality, practicing western medicine.
The fever has since broke (why do they stick the needle in your ass?), but I'm still sweating it out. I'm on the IV until they let me out of here, but I've been cleared to eat plain rice and bananas. I'm so excited!
They plan to discharge me tomorrow morning. What a wonderful start to Varanasi with two nights in a hospital!
Obviously, I'll be delaying my flight back to Dehli to make sure that once I am good I can actually see this crazy crazy city.
I'm really happy it's not malaria...I definitely won't be eating any fish until I get to Japan. Naturally, I'm well enough to check my email, which they've so graciously allowed me to do (dealing with insurance sucks). I decided to steal a few minutes to document this moment in time. Not feeling too hot, but it could be much worse.
All part of the process, right? Take the low with the high. It's really unavoidable in an environment where one switches to the other almost instantaneously.
