Medical Stuff

  Whirlwind since leaving Beijing midnight last Monday. The trip was long but uneventful with 5 hours in Amsterdam and 7 hours in Detroit. Arrived SC at 11 p.m. Tuesday. The next morning we drove the 10 hours to PA. Friday we had the first of our doctors’ appointments. I am waiting to hear when I can have my gel injections for my knee this week. (I also was finally able to receive clarity to the bills for my hip replacement in January. The entire procedure and hospital stay ended up costing me $360. Sometimes insurance really does work!). I have 4 PT sessions this week. At least I have been doing the correct things. Just now we had the appointment from the referral to the surgeon. Rick’s hernia repair is scheduled for Wednesday!! Next week the whole family will be together in the Poconos. Things are really coming together. PTL. Appreciate prayers for Rick’s surgery and continued recovery for both of us.

End of Term

Things are a little tense here. It is the 30th anniversary of an important event. I should not write the word since it will trigger oversight. Our access to many things on internet are blocked right now. We are being told by our US director to stay home as much as possible and not frequent foreign establishments. We are not personally aware of any problems though. Last classes on Thursday. Things feel comfortable, but I mention it so you can pry. We leave on June 11 for SC, PA, FL.
