Low intensity hand to hand combat with my back

I'm feeling pretty fed up with my back situation.
It goes on and on and on.
I'm getting sleep in 2 hour increments and its starting to drag me out.
I'm not immobile, just "creaky", stiff and starting to suffer from sleep deprivation.
The jet lag and 92% humidity isn't helping either.
This trip still has a week and a half to go.......

Neck and Back giving me hell again

I tossed and turned all night.
This is going to be a long trip.
Sometimes life feels like shit.

Oh I almost forgot.....Happy father's day to me and to all of you other dads out there who are separated from your kids today.

Love to all

Oh No!

I woke up like this today.
A two hour drive to London and a flight with a seven year old beckons.
Shuffle, shuffle.
Cringe, cringe
Wish me luck

suffice to say I'm feeling better

I finally got out and about in Bangkok. I went to the Thai boxing in Lumpini stadium. Its interesting, when you have an expensive (ish) looking camera, you find yourself an accredited member of the press!
Here are just a few. Hope you like em!

It was pretty brutal. I have a ton more, but you get the idea. The boxers are really an assembly line of hopefuls trying to punch and kick their way out of poverty and hopelessness. But maybe thats just me thinking too much.

Off to Beijing in the am then back here on Tuesday night. I hope the back continues to mend. The big test will be at 6 tomorrow as it tends to bind up in a knot overnight. I haven't been able to eat much over the past couple of days...and if you know me, I don't eat much usually!

Blah! need to get back to where I usually am.

Well

The last post was nothing if not dramatic.
Stiff and a little sore, but it seems I'm on the mend.
Thanks to all who sent me such kind emails.

Change of Plans

I got off the plane in Bangkok on the way to Seoul. The spasms in my back were almost bringing tears to my eyes. I arrived at 5:50 am and decided to hunker down and try and sort this out before going to Beijing on Sunday for a biz dinner. I feel like such a slacker...............
The problem is, I had three abortive attempts to go out today. All I wanted was to go and eat. In the elevator I'm almost doubled over.....up to the room and ...puke,..and lie on the floor in the toilet staring at the cistern. Jesus, it makes you wonder whats REALLY wrong, you know? Do I have cancer of the spine or something????
The thing is, I've been down this road before. Its hell while its happening, but fades away once all seems right with the world. I'm told that's much like childbirth.
Yikes!
I AM a serious pussy. It's really crap being alone on the road when you're suffering. You feel...OH SO ALONE, and sorry for yourself.
It feels crap though and I'm suffering.
Hope its all good wherever you are.
