Today the Suspense Builds.It Is the Day for Mark's CAT Scan
This is the big day that Mark has been postponing. Another CAT scan. He has not had one for awhile. This should tell the story of why he has a large bulge on the upper left chest and chest pain and if his liver tumors are shrinking, staying the same or thriving on chemo...and if he is free from any other metastasis. We leave for Bumrungrad Hospital soon. Latter today we will post the results of the CAT scan, so check back in latter today.
Later (the next day) Dr Theera, Mark's primary doc and chemo specialist, was sick yesterday and is out sick again today. It is funny in a bizzare cartoon show kind of way when the doc is sicker than the patient. We will not learn the results of the CAT scan until tomorrow.
Happenings in Bangkok Songkran is over. It lasted several days during which many stores and the banks and offices were closed. Yesterday was a normal day until 6 pm at which time the bars all closed and all alcohol sales stopped and this lasts 30 hours until midnight tonight . Soi Cowboy the famous street of bars is black. We took a walk there and it was a strange change from bright lights to very dark. It is a time of elections and people from villages who are living in Bangkok must return to their villages to vote. I hear there is another voting day at the end of the month so two chances to vote and you must vote or you loose government assistance in some way unclear to me. This is kind of like Joseph and Mary returning to the village in the bible story.
