big fat THANK YOU!
Dear Friends, It's been 6 months since my brush with typhus. It was a powerful, ground-shaking experience of impermanence and powerlessness. Nothing like two weeks straight of alternating chills and high fever, hallucinating in hospital beds, doctor talk of cancer swirling overhead, bone marrow extraction from my hip, and endless beeping machines and dripping IV bags to drive the timeless point home.
