june 17, 2009... this sucks...

ok... no real explanation, but this rash from hell is officially out of control...i'm swollen and look like i've gotten a botched collagen lip treatment (kathy has attempted to humor me by telling me that angelina jolie pays thousands for lips this big... :)... and i'm covered in welts that ITCH!!!! this a.m., i finally agreed it was time to head to the hospital for medical help... so off to a tibetan hospital i went... really... interesting experience... thanks to kathy and our guide tashi, i wasn't alone... but it was still scary as heck... especially when needles became involved... eeek! (what the hell does a glucose drip do for one??? anyone?????)

sooooo... i'm spending my second to last day laid up in my hotel room, slathering calamine lotion all over me... reading... sleeping... and boo-hooing like a child... (i can admit this :)... this is NOT how i wanted to end this adventure.... everyone's been great and it's been an amazing trip... but -- really -- sometimes... there's no place like home....
