The Best of Times and the Sickest of Times
We made it home. Thailand was amazing…for the first half of the trip. We saw amazing sights, ate amazing food, and rode on an elephant. Even the weird/bad parts of that part of the trip were still hilarious and amazing, or at least great stories: getting tit-punched by an elephant, an Asian band covering Sweet Home Alabama at a zoo, a monkey giving himself a bj, a “Hilltribe Village” which was really more like a people zoo.
But after a lovely day swimming and learning to cook Thai food on the island of Phuket…I got viciously sick. I’d been having some issues from the food, no one really needs to hear about that, but things just kind of exploded. I’m thinking salmonella. I’m feeling better…ish. Not 100% yet. I think my system’s still under a little bit of shock, so eating isn’t the easiest thing. But I’m getting there. I’ve also lost nearly 10lbs, so while I’m sure a decent chunk is water weight, but definitely not making me want to rush out to McDonalds. Although I guess a fish fillet kinda sounds good right now, I only ever want that junk when I’m sick.
