I arrived in Thailand yesterday, Monday at 10:3O am local time, it is now Tuesday 8:00 am.
Dr Kunaporn's driver pickd me up and took me to the hotel they arranged for me, the room was huge and clean, all the Westerm amenites, except which I forgot to pack, the driver asked me if I wanted to go shopping after I got checked in and cleaned up. He picked me up int he sfternoon, firt he took me to the Buddhist Temple, he does this for all of Kunaporn's patients for good
Karma. Got some great pics which I will upload later. i am in the midst of a profound spiritual awakening and much of this encompasses Buddhist teachings. A great sense of joy, serenity and peace overcame me as I stood for the first time inside a Buddhist Temple.
Aftrewards, he dropped me off at this awesome mall, I bought a couple things, a ring and a Mickey Mouse watch, really cool for 199 Bahts. That's like 5 US dollars. Prices here are incredibly low. I had a great lunch for 100 Bahts. The only thing that is high is coffee (in restaurants) A cup of coffee is anywhere from 65 to 100 Bahts. I did a lot of window shopping and will return after I am released from the hospital when I know more what my budget is.
I returned to the motel, I retired
at 6:00, I slept til 6:30 am...
I dreamt beautifully. I had these intensely seren dreams but I can't recall the specifics, there was a profound spiritual context to the
dreams that is hard to verbalize or even conceive.
My driver is picking me up shortly for admission to the hospital, Dr Kunaporn will see me tonight and surgery is tomorrow.
This entire experience (since geting to Phuket) has been surreal, serene and almost unimaginable. Everyone smile at me, calls me either ma'am or madam, sometimes Miss. I love the madam the best.
So I will check in later, supposedly, i will have internet access from the hospital.

Just got the internet hooked up, two IT guys worked nearly 1/2 hour, the service here is incredible, waiting for Dr Kunaporn to come for pre-op evaluation, that should be fun!

===========================
They just gave me my laxative in a shot glass type container, that was weird. (I am a recovering alcoholic) it tasted about as bad as some of the cheap whiskey I have knocked down on occasion, Dr K should be coming soon for my pre-op.
