Casualty Lists for July 6-11 Series of Trips
Casualties this time round were limited to damage to some of the primary members of the crew, and almost all of the events happened away from any trips:
Alvin picked up a bug in Cambodia, and had to recover in a horizontal position for more than a week prior to the trips' start date. On the one trip that he managed to join, he was coughing so much that he caused us to worry about infection.
Han Peng was involved in a crash, and managed to walk away from it, thank heavens. He seemed to have no visible injuries, but his reaction times seem to be slower than from observations of him made during previous trips.
Wai and Priss came down with food poisoning due to something they ate while working together. Both had to put away their cameras on Labrador, climb the gate, and run to the toilet. The greatest indignity? One mosquito bite on the leg. Guess where the rest were?
Ria had a headache the size of Jupiter starting the week before the trips' start date. I think we need someone to knock her out with something stronger than the tranquilizers the doctor gave her. Or convince her to rest, while the rest of the crew head out without her. The line in Spiderman goes: You're not SuperMan you know.
It applies here. Someone has to help me keep her inside when she feels like that.
Ria's cats also had various problems of their own. I think we would have heard if they had taken a turn for the worse, and since there is no news, I'll assume good news.
Other than that, the usual compliments of cuts, bruises, aches, general pain, and the agony of looking forward to a week of "normality".
