Well it was a time now to start recovering from my surgery and sticking round the hotel and letting the parts try to heal up . Each day between 10-30 and 11-30 one of the girls came in to check me out at my hotel room ,they made sure i was doing my dilation every day twice and also i was cleaning the wounds with the swobs and solution provided . The set of stents provided were made of wax almost candle like ,and on these you needed to use a rubber condom and lubricate with KY jelly
They used a torch to shine between my legs to carefully check the surgery out . We would always have a laugh and a joke between us and im sure they stayed some days longer than they should have done, but the thai people are very curtious and will always give you the time if needed.
Well bye now i was starting to get a wee bit restless hanging round the hotel and started to make a few plans on places to viset . On this perticular evening we were sitting out on the front entrance to the hotel and along came Ruth one of the other girls staying at the baan siri after her srs with dr chettawut. Iasked her wear she had been and she told me she had been all the way to cambodia ,i thought jesus ,and she said she had caught a train a bus and other transport to get herself there and back . Ruth then said tina ive got a gift for you ,ive got a toaster ,and as she was only a couple of days off going back home to the uk ,she wanted me to have it, and i quickley followed her upto her room and gave her a great big hug and thanked her from my heart for the gift ,and went back collected paula and went and had a toasting session back in my hotel room . The toaster was going to be a big help ,and i knew it would be very handy to do snacks in my room . I decided that not being to sure of what the hotel bill was going to be for the full month ,and wanting to spend a little on trips and days out i would go and pay the first two weeks up of the hotel bill. Iasked the reception to make my bill up for the two weeks we had the room and was quitley suprised to note it was alot less than i had expected and the internet access on the cs-lox cards we had used had not put the extra on the phone bill and the total for two weeks worked out at only about 11.500 thai bhats ,so i payed it up and got a recept for it. This ment i could now see roughley what i would need to pay the balance up after the next two weeks and to know what i could run too for the trips we wanted to go on . The first one we decided to book was a half day at Bangkoks Royal Palace ,and early on on the third week with my swollen feet and ankles we wear duley collected from the baan siri car park by a driver courier and taken by air conditioned mini bus to the palace . The following photos are my shots of the royal palace ,and the wonderfull things we saw there
Its a good job we had been forwarned about having to cover our arms and feet up because you were not allowed in the buildings without doing this ,and despite my feet being swollen like baloons i managed to squeeze a flat pair of shoes on and the pink blouse i had taken with me i just slipped it on over my arms to cover up. In the royal jewelry rooms there was gold artifacts like i had never seen before all deplayed behing glass security covers . And also we were taken into the temple of the emerald buddah ,but no photographs or vidios were allowed in side
We had so many wonders to see on this wonderful day at the Royal Palace, memories that will forever stay in my mind
