Banged up in Bangkok
I arrived in Bangkok last night. I wish I could say my excitement level was high but it just isn’t. I stayed in the Sukhumvit Road area which is more of an ex-patriot and seedy part of the city. This morning I got my bags and took off for the legendary backpacker mecca of Khoasan Rd. There are budget guesthouses, hostels, restaurants and night clubs all over the place.
I settled into a single room with a/c and a tv and then went out looking for a new doctor. I came across one about 10 minutes away by foot. The doctor took a look at all my wounds and said the one on my right leg that was a burn isn’t looking good. He said it was slightly infected but will be ok. The rest were ok except the 2 that are still wrapped up in bandages because they are healing slowly. My right lower shin and my left forearm are probably going to be wrapped up for another 2-3 days which means still no showering. I attempted to wash myself last night but it wasn’t very satisfying.
I am just not having fun anymore. I don’t really wanna walk long distances, being in the sun is extremely uncomfortable and I feel really dirty. It looks like I am going to call Khoasan Rd home for a little while until the 2 wounds are dried up and I can shower. It doesn’t really hurt anymore except when applying anticeptic. Maybe once I can take a GOOD shower and not worry about keeping anything dry I can start enjoying myself again.
For now, maybe I should just put my blog on hiatus since there won’t be much to talk about. If I can muster up the desire to visit some historical sites I may do that. I will keep everyone posted.

aww joey!! hugsssss!!! soon enough everything will be healed and you’ll start having fun again. 🙂
Hang in there Joey! You are never one to get defeated. Just rest & take care of yourself & all will be fine soon. The Storm lost to Orlando 52-27-was very disappointing. 🙁 nrKeep smiling! 🙂
Good lord man – I pooped in after not reading for a little while expecting to see pictures of hookers and party life…..
Ekks – that’s fun in it’s own way of course because we do heal and it’s not a flesh eating virus, but still.
