Flag of Thailand Elephant Head and Rock, Thailand
Wednesday, April 18, 2007

Because of the problems I am having, I am worried about going back into the water. Dave looked at me and said, you are old, and there are five dives left, try the first and see how you go. I did this, grabbed Fred, told him I was up for the first, and he told me he was too, feeling like shit, and he would be going down slowly. During the first dive, everybody left, and Fred and me had a great dive together. I managed the second, the third was a shit, but the fourth was better. I made all four. I was extremely happy, so I celebrated with a milo. I am now not drinking beer, well at least not today as I am full of snot. Not just snot, but bloody snot, because I am still bleeding. Nothing changes. One more day, one more dive, and then it is over. I think tomorrow, I will do a Meike and breakdown and cry !!!
