one and only

fell ill

The cold I'd had, have traveled with me all the way from Lhasa, Chengdu, Xi'an, Guilin to Shanghai, already for almost ten days. Even so, there's no signs of leaving yet.

I guessed I must get it from the chilly morning in Lhasa, when crazy me walked around the hotel in the cold morning wind about 5 degrees. Same day in the afternoon, I got the fever but didn't take any medicine. But I couldn't sleep at all in that night, and woke up always only to find I sweated and wetted the whole bed.

'It couldn't be the altitude sickness but it might occur to me,' worried and growing nervous, I stayed up all the night in order to leave Lhasa the first thing in the morning.But coming to low altitudes didn't help, but only comforted by the fact the common cold couldn't have killed me here.
