Love story : Dee and Dang

When I woke up the next morning, I was feeling much better. I wasn’t 100%, but my stomach wasn’t cramping. Although I was exhauseted, I was in good spirits and ready to go home.

I ate some breakfast…. rice and soy milk were all my stomach could handle. This is the diet I would keep for a few days…. rice, soy, cereal, etc. The majority of the day was spent sleeping. I was so tired. My body was just wore out. Mama was there the whole time. Even though, I was sleeping, she never left my side. She stayed right there quietly watching over me.

By the time 6.00 p.m had arrived, they released me from the hospital. Mama and I showered, packed, and were off. Because this was a governemt-run hospital, the price was very cheap. For the whole stay, medicine included, it cost $60. That’s right, $60. Hmmmm…… strange…… affordable health-care. Dang told me that it wasn’t the best in Thailand, because it was government, but it was good. They took very good care of me. But, that’s how Thailand is…. they are very caring people. They wouldn’t think of not caring for me. That would not be the Thai way of doing things.

Mama and I caught a van back to Bangkok, and by 9.00 pm, we were home. I ate some supper and went to bed.

Before I move on, let me remind you of this: Dang never left me. She cared for me through all of this. She lost sleep, worried, arranged things, took care of all the business, and was even there for me to lean on when I was too weak to walk on my own. I pity the person to ever dare speak a foul word against my Love….. that person will know my wrath, surely.

To be continued….
