emergency

first sickness casualty.

we were at a local place for lunch (although, i was going to have breakfast food, i love breakfast) after sleeping in and skipping breakfast. we were with charlie dyrsten and we're planning on doing some emailing and buying tickets to pokhara in the afternoon.

we were at the restaurant long enough to order and then kristi says she suddenly isn't feeling well. (alarm bells and sirens going off in my head, you who are familiar with kristi's sudden illnesses know what i mean). she goes to the bathroom alone. i follow 5 minutes later, and she is sitting on the floor of the bathroom saying she feels like she is going to pass out and/or throw up. (ooooh, not the two options i was hoping for).

after 10 minutes in the bathroom, we stand up and head out (without getting sick or passing out thank goodness). i toss a 1000 rupee note to charlie and mournfully look at my breakfast/lunch which had now arrived. kristi heads out ahead of me (she says she has to keep moving), i find her 50 yards down the street sitting on the steps in an alley. hail a cab, get home, kristi sleeps the next 6 out of 7 hours.

she is feeling better now, less nausea and less weak. we don't know what hit her. thanks for the prayers, life is exciting in nepal. oh yeah, and kristi reminds the moms to pray rather than worry themselves silly. she thinks by tomorrow she will be feeling better. (kristi wanted me to add that it could have been much worse, but i told her i didn't see how that would make anyone feel any better...)

PS- kristi says in answer to an earlier question by danielle, no hot water in our bathroom.
