Plane Rides Home

Well, it's been an adventure to say the least. Beginning Sunday Morning I began to dread the plane rides home. 

The first flight was crappy. I felt crappy I mean. I made my self stay awake for it though. It was only an hour so it wasn't' worth sleeping. When we arrived in the airport I was escorted down a ramp and under terminals and took a whole round about way to meet everyone else. It was kinda scary yet pretty cool at the same time. It took a while for us to convey the message that we wanted to hang onto the wheelchair until the next flight. When we finally did, the manger(idk what of) helped us to find a place to eat. We ended up eating at the same place we ate on the way to Thailand. I had a waffle with chocolate syrup. I think I pretty much ate the most food of the week on Sunday! (Jane you should be proud!) 
  -side note of what I ate Sunday: 1 Tim tam, a little bit of a "donut",  a smoothie (from smoothie Blues!), a bagel, a chicken sandwich, and a waffle! Plus I drank Gallons of water!!
Anyways, after dinner it was time to bunker down. I had planned on brushing my teeth and stopping to get some water bottles and snacks, but that's not what happened. (Don't worry I had gotten a few snacks in Chiang Mai and I had a water bottle that I kept refilling.) Rather I got out of the wheelchair, sat, layed down, and fell asleep. Well sorta. It was a weird sleep. I woke up to Stephine and Morgan pulling my blanket away to try to get me up. As fast as I stood, I sat down in that wheelchair feeling VERY dizzy. I also had a really bad headache. But I feel as if that's the new norm. 
 We headed to "check in", went through secerity and customs, and then walked (or was wheeled) to the gate. (C5) We waited there a bit. I walked around and brushed my teeth, washed my face, and just refreshed. It was nice. Then Stephine and I boared the plane. First, again. During the flight Hailey was in our row. It was nice. Stephine slept through take off. Hailey read. And I drank. I made my self have 4 cups of water before allowing myself to go to sleep. When I fell asleep I was pretty much out the whole ride. Although Stephine woke me up to drink some more water and eat. I really wasn't feeling the chicken so I started a cliff bar, had a piece of pineapple and bread. After I web back to sleep untill we landed. 

It. Was pretty stressful landing in Japan. We had 40 minutes until out plane to Seattle took off. And Stephine and I  had to be the last ones off the plane. We did it though. I didn't get to board first because I wasn't there, but Stephine and I did cut the line. This flight we weren't next to eachother. So it was nervous. I asked Katie G if she would switch seats with me so I could sit next to Maddi but behind Stephine. It worked for a while. I was feelig super duper dizzy during take off so I just shut my eyes. After the seatbelt light went off Maddi got up to talk to Texas, so I got up to pee. Unfortunatly there was a line to the closest toilet. Because I wasn't "really okay" I just sat on the floor while I waited. Katie D was sitting in the isle middle seat of the last row, and Liz, Isabell, Kimmi, and Aledia were in the last two rows by the windows. I chatted with all of them. FINALLY, it was my turn to pee. But as soon as I walked in the toilet I had the feeling that I was going to puke. I thought since I was able to fight that feeling throughout the week with Jane, I could do it again. So, I peed. As I was washing my hands I just couldn't fight it, and I puked. Yep in an airplane toilet. Pretty Gross! Don't worry I held onto the wall and sink so I never touched the toilet. But yea. I tried to pull it off all cool when I walked back to my seat to ask Maddi where Read was, but when she asked "Why?" I kinda started tearing up. She told me I should go sit in the back until he came incase I felt puky again. So I kinda just asked Katie D if I could switch seats with her so I was closer to the toilet if I had to puke. Gotta love Katie! She's the best! She switched her isle seat with some extra leg room and next to and adorable little Girl, to a middle seat next to a heavier set guy. She's the best!! 
  So after settling, I slept. I tried to sleep away the pukiness. I woke up after food had been pasted out. I never got a meal, but I did get ice cream. So I ate that. Read came over to check on me. I was doing alright. About 15 minutes later I started feelig sucky so I got up to go pee. I ended up puking up my ice cream up too! Ugh! So right now, I'm sticking to LOTS of water. 
 I am trying to give sleeping a little bit of a break because everytime I wake up My headache is worse and my eyes biter me more. So right now I'm good. Well good enough. I watched Monsters Inc. At one point the little girl next to me slide her sleeping head on my shoulder for a few minutes. She really is adorable. I think she's about 6. After the movie I got up to go potty again. Guess what! No puking!!! Yay! Althought My boda is still dehydrating faster because I still have diarrhea. (aren't you glad you are reading this?? The only reason I'm including this is to remind my self how cruddy I feel So I never forget to drink water on a trip again.)  

But yea, so that kinda brings me to now. Typing this, as this little girl is sleeping on me again. (her dad? Is sleeping too, so he has no idea. I mean I don't care anyways.) I guess it's kinda creepy but I took a few selfies! I'm posting them even tho I look kinda creepy! 

This is how I was tring to sleep before.
