Dee day

Today was the big day, I got up feeling pretty good even though the rain had keep me awake last night with its thunder and lightning. I had decided I would spend some money today and buy a water proof bag for my things, considering I am going into monsoon in Cambodia and well it is here in Thailand this could be a good investment.
Back on the number 47 off to Siam Square, from there it was the train towards the hospital and then a little walk, I tried to take my time in getting there but was still 1 hour early, slight apprehension about what was to come, as much as you try to not let it affect you it is still there that little bit of doubt at the back of your mind saying what if. Wish the mind would just shut up.
So had to wait around, wrote up yesterdays blog which because I am a two finger on each hand typist it takes a while. 12am appointment time came up to quick, time to get it over and done with, had to wait a whole 20 minutes for the doctor, had my blood pressure done and was outside his office, my heart started to beat a bit faster, nervous anticipation, the door open steven come on through, well here goes.
Into the office and straight on the chair, leg is bouncing up and down, doctor looks up, just have to finish this then we will have a look, Doc your killing me here. After he finishes the report for the last patient he turns to the computer and put in my number, this seems to be taking for ages, I think the adrenalin had kicked in. He flips down through my notes, you would not believe it, it was not there, yep that’s what I need at this moment. Hold on Steven I will just phone.
He does it all in Thai, I can’t even ease drop on the conversation, maybe it’s a good thing. Then he turns towards me again the slow motion kicks in, then those words I wanted to hear, all clear no problem. Thank the gods, relief washes over me, my heart that must have been doing a thousand beats a second slows down the world is back to normal, I really I was total cool throughout the whole thing. I knew I would be clear, time to go dance in the streets.
So my day had got better, it was all looking up, I can get back to exploring these crazy beautiful asia countries, with their mad roads and lots of Wats. The rest of the day was spent buying a dry bag to put all my stuff in the it was a trip back to Khaosan.
I will mention the trip back, first we all had to wait on the over bridge while they stopped the traffic for the presidents cars to go through. Then it was down to the pickup point for the 47 local bus. The bus was packed, which is not to bad unless you hit traffic, then it turns into an oven. So after a few blocks we hit traffic, the bus hardly moved for what seemed like ages. Sweet was starting to run off me, but it as good to see it was also running off the locals so I was not the only one.
After 30 minutes of not moving very far I jumped off the bus, and you know what happened all the traffic started moving again, O well I nice little walk will do you good, o did I mention I had no idea where I was. I had a compass bearing and a name of a road, I knew the bus turned somewhere down the road. Off I went, it ended up I was not really that far from where I needed to be so it was a good stretch for the legs and then back at Khaosan Road.
Back on the road tomorrow, wish me luck navigating the Bangkok roads how hard can it be. I’ll let you know soon..
