OUCH. sounds like a bad trip.
The only "silver linings" are
- You got through the customs
- You are now well
- You are now back to a (normal) routine
- This was a quite cheap MR

Looking forward to your TR.
BTW, what was the original cost / expected MQM / expected miles vs the final MQM and reward miles?
Have the trip post for those you flew?

Since your boss activated you on a last minute work trip during what I presume was your leave (as you were travelling on a MR), will you be able to claim some of the lost (un-flown) flight expenses?
