still sick.

but of all the places to be sick, this isnt so bad. i am in gimmelwald, switzerland, still, in the alps south of interlaken, for those who know their swiss geography. this little farming town is part of the way up the schilthorn mountain, a gondola ride, bus ride, and train ride from interlaken. and 3 more gondola rides to the top.

i did go up the schilthorn yesterday, but that was probably a mistake since i havent felt that bad ever, i dont think. my drugs wore off up there, and at 10000 feet, it is a little cold, so my shivers were just worse! and my whole body tensed up, too, so i just ached even more. so i made a hasty retreat back to bed, where i basically have been since then. thankfully there is a computer with internet here, so i dont have to go far to check email!

the most bumming part is missing out on seeing friends. i was supposed to be in austria now, hanging out with brad, a friend from OU. and i am supposed to go to a town outside munich to meet up with alex, another friend from OU, tomorrow, but i may not have the energy for it. and i dont want to get her sick, too. so perhaps i will just go to italy from here....

thank you all for praying. i really do appreciate your prayers!

Thanks for sending a hi through Sally!! I hope you are feeling better as you read this. I was reminded of going to the top of Mount Victoria in Hong Kong just after getting off the international flight. I'm sure it was beautiful and wonderful and all that, but I can't remember it at all other than the horrible feeling of wanting to fall on the ground and curl up in a ball. Russ says hi. He wants to know how the weather is. :)
