I had a visitor this afternoon. I had no idea Cheryl & Russ (from Honolulu) were in Bangkok. It was good to see ypu. And thank you for the basket of flowers. They brighten my room.

PET scan tomorrow. Not sure how or if Hua Hin will fit in our schedule. Not sure how many days I will spend at Bumrungrad. One day at a time.

Yikes, Carol. Hope you get better soon. Happy Christmas

Sorry my trip report is not so interesting.... I wish I was out finding new restaurants instead of being in the hospital!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and healing thoughts. I hope to recover and get out there and enjoy Thailand.

Carol

WE are so thinking of you. You came up in our conversation several times yesterday, woundering how you were doing. Hope you are doing better today and can go do some "Thailanding".

Sadly, just canceled our beach time at Hua Hin. Hoped I wouldn't have to do that, but..... still in hospital a while longer.

What a shame. Hope you can get out of the hospital soon so you can at least have some time to enjoy BKK.

Carol, I'm sending you good, healthy vibes from Los Angeles. I hope you recover soon, and have a healthy, happy new year.

Kathie Dec 26th, 2016 06:32 PM

Well, if you have to be in the hospital, I'm glad you are in Bumrungrad. Let the staff take good care of you and I'll look forward to your adventures once you are out of the hospital.

kmkrnn Dec 26th, 2016 07:11 PM

Sorry to hear that, but getting you ack on your feet is more important. Thinking of you.

Lolazahra Dec 27th, 2016 08:33 AM

Thanks for keeping us posted. Sending healing thoughts...

Just checking into the Asia Board for the first time in a while. Although I emoted on your post on FB, I had no idea that this was to be a longer hospital stay. At least you are in good hands, Carol. Feel better soon!

Feeling 90% better today, thank goodness. I may leave tomorrow, but probably Friday. We will fly home sometime next week rather than 11th as scheduled. Doctor says I should be home. But I want to stay in warm Bangkok!!! Grrr

Thanks for all the well wishes from everyone. This past month has been what I would call pretty dark. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel at last! 2016 will surely be better.

The guys have eaten at old familiar places such as the Mexican restaurant at the EmQuartier helix and Monsoon on soi 8. Sorry to be missing the great food, but really no choice right now.

Will keep posting from hospital and apartment until we depart. Lat is coming so she is going to learn what REAL COLD WEATHRR feels like. I think she won't like it.......

Sorry you are not well, Carol. Hope the New Year is better.

Maryalice Dec 28th, 2016 02:28 PM

More healing wishes, Carol. I am so sorry that this trip has been so very challenging for you. Your evident and sustained love for Bangkok is such a delight to all and such a pleasure to experience from afar. May you keep gathering your strength in these last days of 2016 so that 2017 can bring you a return to great health and continuing travel. May 2017 be a strictly "First Class" year for you.

Guenmai Dec 28th, 2016 04:39 PM

Carol: Hope you get better soon. I just arrived into Bangkok last night and am at the condo. If you need anything, just let me know. I check my e-mail several times a day although not on a cell phone.

Happy Travels!

simpsonc510 Dec 28th, 2016 07:45 PM

Finally feeling good today. I may be leaving the hospital...not sure yet. The sun is shining and my terrace at Column awaits.

Kathie Dec 28th, 2016 07:53 PM

So glad to hear that you are feeling better!

CaliforniaLady Dec 28th, 2016 08:44 PM

That's great news that you are getting your mojo back, Carol.

Lolazahra Dec 29th, 2016 03:02 AM

Fantastic! Let us know how many more days you will gave to enjoy your favorite city before heading home when you figure it out. So glad you were able to get such amazing medical care away from your regular team. Enjoy your terrace!
