Sickness

Hello all,

Sorry i haven't posted in a while. I've been sick for the last 5 days. :( Luckily nothing so bad as Dengue. The health clinic here gave me some meds for my symptoms. I think (hope to heck) i'm almost better now. Its been extremely frustrating to be so close to so many fun amazing things, in such a beautiful place, with such a big project, and to be inoperable, miserable, and confined to my bungalow. The first day I thought i had just got heat exhaustion, but when after a day of hydration and rest the 15 minute walk into town took an hour, and a spoonful of broth made me super nauseous I realized it must be something more. I just at my first real meal in 5 days tonight! YIPPEE!!

Up until the sickness I had been working ahead of schedule on my project to hopefully get all the necessary interviews in for sure and then have a with time for a little adventuring at the end... so i think, luckily, i'll still have enough time to finish up the interviews i need before my flight up to Chaing Mai in 8 days. Its frustrating, but I keep reminding myself that in the scheme of life its a small thing. I'm looking forward to getting back out into the action with a new appreciation for the simple things ...like the feel of the waves on my feet again, and walking and sitting without back pain!

Love,
Gigi
