Haircut & Cont. Recovery

Aug. 22. Thurs.
Elder R decided it was time for a haircut. Eugene volunteered to come & trim his hair so it wasn't lopsided any more. It was kind of like a little party. Coopers had come to visit so we were all giving directions how he should look.

For the next 2 weeks, several missionary couples visited.  Coopers came each evening, always bringing a fun surprise. Maples bopped in often. Elder Przybille came many times during his lunch hr.  Elder Mikits came  in the afternoons Robinson's, Nielsens, Walkers, Cardnos, Waites, Swensons, Freis & many others. They brought dinners, & yummy treats. We were so blessed to have such great friends.

After being In the hospital for a week, Gary was able to come home & sleep in his own bed. I would take him up to Kuhuku for the PICC line antibiotic each morning @ 10 am.  He tried to walk daily to build his strength up. He struggled. Was too hot to walk outside so we sometimes went to the Aloha Center. One time we went to Kanohe & walked in the mall.

Sept 1 was  last day for the PICC line treatment. We were glad to finally have it removed Sept 5. We struggled finding Dr. Wongs office. What a challenge to drive in Honolulu. Gary didn't enjoy having me drive!!!  We still had to wait for the brain to heal before we could fly home. Elder Pollock called daily because the church was putting pressure on him to get us home ASAP.
I was sad knowing our mission would soon be ending. I Didn't Want To Come Home!!
