Choices in the making: Bet I can't get worst... Destiny: Hold my beer

Woke up this morning in a hospital bed with a needle in my arm in this country on the other side of our round shaped Earth. Itchy throat and numb hearing from the right ear.

But first, how did I get here? I feel like Wolverine from X-Men in the latest movie called Logan, where Wolverine is old and tired from its numerous adventures. Maybe with my new body age, the self-image should update itself but didn't. Who really feels over 25 in their head?

I have to give it up to my body, been traveling non-stop in wild places for the last 3 months and it's put up with my craziness. Food street, lack of sleep, a bit of party and other excesses. Also, the red "check" light on my inner dashboard has been blinking for a while, especially since dusty and cold Nepal, from where everything seemed to have gone downhill for the last month.

New Zealand was a clean and sweet break, although tiring but rewarding.
Indonesia wasn't a resting place either and about one week ago I could feel my ear clogging and had to see the first doctor. 2 surfing days later(I had to surf, my last chance and there were glorious waves), it got worst and 4 days after antibiotics I only had a running nose and pink eye.
Once in Thailand and with the Similan Islands diving in mind, went to another doctor who increased the antibiotics.
Next day, I had the most intense fever and head pain of my life and had to stay in bed for the whole day.
Fortunately, the day after I felt a bit better and went exploring Phuket on two wheels. I must have driven 7 hours and crashed a scooter for the 2nd time in Thailand, which is amazing since my balance is a bit off with the ear infection. Repaired the scooter broken mirror and cleaned the dirt off my scratches and kept riding. Later at night the doctor from 2 days before told me to check in the hospital because he doesn't know what else to give me.
45-minute ride to the hospital just to get an appointment for the next day.
Yesterday, I finally came and after some more advanced checks, the doctor said I had to be admitted for 3 days because of an acute sinus infection. Called my insurance and now I'm staying in an 800$ per night room that looks better than most recent hotels with a sunset view, great food, with caring cute nurses and a bed that has 10 buttons (my inner geek is in love, it's like driving a low rider).

So here I am in a hospital room with some new friends coming to visit but mostly resting and chilling, which is something that restless souls have trouble with.
