So today I got woken up at 1240 because Dr. Dell wanted to use my computer to surf the net to find out what dosage of a certain med he should give to an infant. I tried to link into a server that was not on the generator but could not get a connection. It was ok though, because once he woke up fully and thought about it he found a better med that he did not think we had. So I got woken up for nothing but it was ok because it was for an important reason. Once back in bed I had a not difficult time returning to a state of unconsciousness, and slept until the rooster got up and then it was off and on until morning devotions. Once again this morning I woke up with such a pain in my lower back that I could vomit with every step. It only seems to be lasting for about 40 minutes each morning. I may ask one of the medical people what they think. After breakfast, I went down to say good morning to Sonel and spend some time in recovery, which turned out to be a lot of my day because the nurses kept getting me to do little things for them, like moving patients, entertaining patients, sitting them in wheelchairs. Kim sent me to the dungeon to hunt down a wheelchair for one of the older fellas that had surgery on his leg. Normally this would be a very easy process but, because of the construction in the back, all of the stuff out of the maintenance shed got moved into the dungeon and all the wheelchairs got stacked on shelves and buried. I immediately called Erin to come down because she was not going to believe what happened. She just walked in all open mouthed and was like, “WOW, who did this?” Once we were over the room organization, we amazingly found a wheelchair that will be perfect. When I got back to recovery, it was time for Sonel’s dressing change so I went and got Erin because she wanted to take pictures and send them to Melissa so she could see the after surgery turn out. The nurses finished his dressing a little before lunch and we left his dad, aunt, and “stepmom,” take him around the grounds. He was way super excited about being in his chair, in his brace, on his new seat cushion, and OUTSIDE. It was time for lunch now and after lunch, Tim got the interested people together and we walked to the local Brothel, to evangelize. Once we were there Roland and I said our hellos and then went shopping for some wood, a cross, and some other little things, none of which did we manage to find. Roland and I went to one place to look for wood and the guy had what we were looking for however the price was way too high. So we continued through the market and I even rode a motorcycle without getting burned, WOO-HOO. After striking out all over the place we went back to the mission and got ready for dinner. After dinner I helped the recovery room staff for a little while longer and hung out with Sonel and Erin, until it was time to go to up and start the internet waiting line in the dining hall. Tonight’s episode was a little shorter because the server was being difficult, but it was still just as enjoyable to hang out with everyone. Well 10 pm came again and it is time to go to bed. Peace.
