Day 165 and 166 - 20th July 2010 to 21st July 2010

Jen was feeling much better, except..... now her abscess had returned..

So before we did anything, it was back down to the clinic for an examination. Again, they couldn't handle it, and sent us to Koh Samui.

Jen was very upset that we had to spend money to go back to Koh Samui (3rd time in 6 weeks), but after talking, we agreed that it was for the best.

Quickly packing and arranging a hotel for the night, we caught the 3pm ferry, arriving at 5:30pm on Koh Samui. The hospital is only open until 5pm (which we were aware of) so we headed straight to the hotel for some chill time.

The Dara Samui is quite a plush place, and luckily we had an insider to sort a deal for us. We went out for a mexican meal..

After eating it was time to head to bed for an early night.. except I had UK work to do, so for me it was the laptop for a few hours.

Waking early and breakfast eaten, we were taken to the Bangkok Samui hospital (getting to know this place quite well!) where Jen was seen straight away.


After examining her, they made another small incision and did some drainage... this time she did not need stitches (phew!).
Out of the hospital it was straight back to the ferry for us, to catch the last boat which leaves at 12:30pm...

Once back on Koh Tao, we returned home so Jen could chill and I could get on with lots of UK work. Jen will be out of the water for a week... but is in good spirits!
