crash into

i don't really want this to be a sad entry. i am not sad because at this point i am just happy we both are alive. that is a slight exageration but i will explain. i think alex left off with himself not sure whether to go on or not and me sick as a dog. that was the situation. alex almost imploded on his bike that night because his back wheel keeps coming loose. the next morning i felt weak but considerably better. we managed to wash our clothes and check into a cleaner non-casino motel. then i slid into bed and wasn't feeling good enough to get out so alex who was still feeling good or okay at the time went to get groceries. we chilled in the room all day and that night as we were getting to bed i began feeling achy. and then alex's unravelling began. i can't give exact details because i was in and out of sleep but alex puked around 10 times. i meanwhile have become so sorethat i can't move without being in considerable pain. muscle i didn't even know i had were sore. so finally i manage to give alex a nausea suppository. (like hand it to him, not administer it) that did nothing and so after puking 3 0r 4 more times i called an ambulance. they came and got him and i just stayed in bed unable to help. so that was the low point of the trip. me laying in a bed aching and shivering and alex puking. the next day i just layed in bed and alex did the same except at the hospital still puking every once in a while. that night he got brought back from the hospital. my parents are coming to help us get to san francisco and just make sure we get better. today we both feel better. not 100 percent but much better. as i said this morning to alex "We made a heck of a run"
thanks for your concerns, we are now feeling a lot better.
peace,
pete
