Thai massage school and the ceiling mold
Hi again! Last time I wrote was Monday eve after my first day of class. This afternoon, I finally made it back to class. For two full days I was sick in bed staring at the mold on the ceiling near the AC and watching really bad movies on TV such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alien and other worse movies. I was feverish, achey, felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest and like my head was in a vise. Two full days and three nites of yulk! AND, I missed two days of class. My fellow Thai students were so cute. There I am in my deathbed (about wishing I would die) and a group of about 10 of them show up after class to wish me well and to take me to the hospital if I needed it. Later another one showed up with a bag of oranges! Soooo sweet these girls. I am learning so much about graciousness from them. Dieter came by (since he was up off his deathbed and on his way back to Bangkok) and brought a cool camphor type sniffing vial, drugs and amazing flower garlands. I awoke this morning after a night of coughing and realized I still felt crappy. I was so depressed I cried. Then, realizing that I would have another day of bad movies and mold, I got up and took lots of meds and tried to find a spa with a sauna that could perform elephant removal. Not an easy find her in the city, so decided an hour of hot sun at the beach and a dip ithe ocean might turn things around. It did!!! I dried up a bit, and came home, took a shower and went to massage class. I just observed the women practice what they learned the last two days and tried to implant it in my slowly functioning brain. These therapists are a quick study!!!! They don't even need to look at their notes!! It's a good thing I have my PT background, because alot of what they are doing is similar to how I do stretching and range of motion to clients so I don't think I'm too far behind. Think I'll head off for a bowl of hot vegetable soup and study for tomorrow.
Take care and STAY WELL.
