Hospital and Coconut

We are still not 100% sure what they are building by the stories about a pool seem less likely than before...unless Thai pools have big posts in them.

Big surprise in our park today. Two weeks ago they were covering some areas with artificial grass and this afternoon I figure out why. It looks as though they are installing exercise machine alongside the lake. 

I got my hair cut......scary but true and it was quite the process. This is the day after because they super straightened it on the day it was cut. Thought I'd take a picture so that I can go back again. I was desperate and it felt as though I had a ten pound mop on my head for the last week. I was on day four of a headache which probably has something to do with falling and decided that I would get a pedicure, hair cut and back massage after school and hopefully one of those would make me feel better. It did for a few minutes but then I just had nice toes, a good haircut and a relaxed back. Maybe the fact that it has been overcast for 5 days straight has something to do with it?

That was 2 days ago and finally I took the afternoon off work and headed to the hospital clinic to see if my arm was actually okay. Swimming yesterday was painful and I figured it's better to be safe. Plus, my running buddy at school basically told me to....and I listened.

This did not work the same was as in Quebec which was not exactly surprising. We taxied it to the hospital (there are many) , went to the registration which looked more like a hotel lobby and I was sent directly to the Bone and Joint specialists. In 1 hour I saw a nurse, a doctor, got and x-ray, saw the doctor again, was given anti-inflammatories and was sent home. Oh, yeah......and then got a Dunkin' Donuts coffee and headed to the grocery store.

No fracture at all but he said I have a bit of of "side ways whiplash" and the anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants should take care of it. If not, no worries...come back in a week.

 The hospital 

My bag of drugs. How cute is that? 

The hospital lobby.

Enjoying a donut and coffee in the entrance.

Outside the front entrance which really does not look like a hospital at all. 

The taxi window cracked me up. Zoom in to see.

This is apparently the sworn by solution to dehydration etc and we have been recommended to eat 1/day since it has a lot of electrolytes.  After the hospital I went to the market and picked one up. I did learn that these are really full of water and not portable once cut.  So, I drained it with the straw and ate the rest at home. I also had Vince's rain coat so he might find it smells a bit coco-nutty the next time he uses it. Oh well.

 Leaving for Bali in 9 days! Yahoooooooo!
