Just so everyone knows, I'm home! I arrived home on July 4th (the fireworks felt very appropriate). I wasn't sure if I was going to make it for a bit though, I had the worst case of pink eye on the planet. I didn't realize I had it until I arrived in Bangkok, so by that time all I could do was buy some dry-eye relief drops. I went to a pharmacy during my layover in Qatar, but it turned out all they gave me were allergic reaction drops. By the time I arrived in Dallas, I could hardly even keep my eyes open, they were so swollen and oozy. I also had some blood vessels burst under the eye, which meant that--even after I finally got some proper medication the next day--I would earn the nicknames "Bates from the Bates hotel" and "wolfchild" because of the redness. Fortunately, it almost gone now, and I can quit wearing sunglasses.
Thanks so much for all your prayers and support! I really felt them and I am so grateful to everyone who lifted me up throughout my journey. I really think I did what I was meant to do, I learned a great deal and had a wonderful experience. Thanks again!!
