Tonsai Tummy

Well ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I have survived the epic tonsai tummy. Apparently no one avoids getting sick. it was a hellish 24hrs. But i came out alive all thanks to some very nice people. Ryan went and got me water and crackers for my day after hugging the toilet oh so gently. Also Kai and Lindsays friend showed up and within meeting dan in 5 min he gave me a cycle of antibiotics that he had in his pack. I owe it to those meds and dan for making my hell only last one day. There s nothing worse that not being in your comfort zone in a dirty bathroom laying on the floor. On the plus side the next day i sat in the hammock pounding water and little bits of food and read my first entire book in one day. Its called Espresso Lessons and its the follow up to Rock Warriors Way. Of course its on climbing and the mental games and preparation that goes into climbing. The next day i went climbing again and didnt last too long before i ran out of gas, and again today i hit a wall around midday. Food is still hard to eat and Im trying to avoid thai food cause it makes me nauseous, which is fucking hard when your in Thailand!! Im sure the appetite will return along with the climbing strength to do it all day. It is a practice in patience, which is not my strong suit when i want to climb my projects everyday. We did climb a really aesthetically pleasing route this morning and it was just over 30meters long and your where prob another 60m on a ledge overlooking the ocean. it was really neat to find that area with such a hidden gem. After my scare with sickness sky and ryan spent little time debating and also jumped on the medication bandwagon. Sky spent a personal day yesterday at the bungalow and read a book and let the meds do some work on him. Ryan was iffy but still climbed. Were a little out of it still today and ryan and sky are on the computer behind me trying to buy our tickets to north vietnam right now. The visa to get over there isnt as simple as it is for thailand. We will prob leave tonsai mid next week before our visas are no bueno!! Its cool to hear all of you respond to the posts and i look forward to reading them before i write the next one. Ill try and convince ryan to post more pics, but its time consuming on a pay by the minute computer. Ill let him know to post more of sky. And im sure we will explode the computer with pics and video once we find a decent place to attach the iphone into. It sounds cold back home, we ran into a fellow st. george climber Gordon and his wife who said it was 30 for the high in st george and snowy in chicago. All of us are looking forward to cooler temps up north after being in upper 80s all the time. We even tossed around the idea of india after vietnam as opposed to north thailand. Its nice to not have a set plan and just go with the flow. o and everyone said that the accomidations and sicknesses were all worse in tonsai than other areas from people we talk to, so horray!! Ok time to research plane tickets. LATE!!!
