Back to the States

Posted by Blake under Uncategorized

The Driver’s on his way over to take me to the airport, so I’ll be heading out pretty soon. My flight isn’t for another 4.5 hours, but I always like to get in early and just hang out for a bit.
My last day in Bangkok was spent pampering myself. I got a french [...]

The minifridge has really cheap beer

Posted by Blake under Uncategorized

Well, tomorrow’s my last full day in Bangkok. I plan to stay up through Saturday night until my plane ride Sunday, so hopefully I’ll sleep off some of that 12 hour ride.
It’s been fun and crazy here, but I’m feeling antsy and I’m ready to go home and get back to work. Yeah, [...]

What a Waste

Posted by Blake under Uncategorized

I blogged about a month back about quitting smoking again because of a guest at the hotel who couldn’t kick the habit.
After checking in with work I was told he died in his room yesterday- judging from what I’m told of his behavior in the days leading up to it, it was probably an OD.

Ongoing Recovery

Posted by Blake under Uncategorized

Sorry it’s been awhile. Like I said in the last post, my days and nights just sort of ran together for awhile there, while I recovered. All my bandages were removed they other day, finally.
I’ve still got a bit of bruising- part of my chest is still purple and yellow, and I’ve had [...]

Back at the Hotel

Posted by Blake under Uncategorized

So here I am.
Oof, what an experience. Right now I’m running at about 65%, though it’s only been a few days.
So a little bit after my last full post, they came in to transfer me to the operating room. Pretty trippy, lying on my back, watching those fluorescent lights flash by.
Once there, I [...]

My Hospital Stay

Posted by Blake under Uncategorized

So I’m here, all checked in and “settled” at the hospital.
I’m pretty hungry- I had to stop eating before Midnight last night. Right now I’ve got an IV put in- sexy.
My phone ran out of minutes and I didn’t get a chance to get a refill card, so I haven’t been able to call [...]

Bangkok- Day 1

Posted by Blake under Uncategorized

So just a few hours after touching down in Hong Kong, I soon found myself in Bangkok.
First off, air travel is amazing.
Second- what an experience this has all been. And I’m just getting started!
This is my first time in Asia, and getting by so far hasn’t been too bad. Most of the people [...]

Well, I survived the first leg of the trip. In Hong Kong, now. Wow, that was a long flight, but I did manage to sort of sleep for a few hours.
Its been awhile since I've taken an international flight, and after stepping into the plane and seeing how big it [...]

Lift Off!

Posted by Blake under Uncategorized

So here I am, waiting at the airport. About ten minutes to go before boarding. I’m a little nervous, and all the bars are closed- flying sober, blah.
Well, I do have some Xanax. I am feeling a bit of pre-flight jitters now.
Jeez, it’s almost unbelievable that I’m actually here. There’s a [...]
