I think I'm on day 4. I keep forgetting to get pictures of my meals like Ellen does, but this mornings breakfast was porridge. ???!! So, I had some pineapple and toast, for lunch I did my mixed nuts again. Dinner was actually very good. Fish over rice with a great sauce. The drive in to the lab was as wacky as every, but yesterdays rain actually cleaned things up (if u can imagine). So there's still all the rubble and buildings down, but its cleaner.
I fit the young girl I used to teach my casting technique on. There is a prosthetic God, because it fit very well. She was able to walk for the first time with an artificial knee using only one hand. The technicians I've taught have also tried casting with the new technique, and did incredibly well. I think I'll go into teaching full time.
The guy in charge came back from a vacation today. He's real nice and is down here with his wife rebuilding the lab that was lost in the quake. He is getting an apartment that will cost $2000/month. If he wants to live in a safe area with everything functioning, that's what he has to pay. He could live pretty well anywhere in the US for 2K (it's not a big place). Pretty amazing guy. Found out they haven't had many prosthetists going to this lab because of previous problems. He told me today that they like me though, so maybe they'll start letting others back in.
Showed the girl in charge my bug bites and she thinks they are bed bugs. I don't think they are, but she offered me a private room. So, I goin with the bed bugs. The 2 English guys are real nice that I was sharing a room with, but private bath or share with 3.........?
Went swimming when I got back from the lab, before dinner. It's really crazy swimming in an in ground pool, knowing on the other side of the wall is utter poverty. I still go swimming though.
Gonna download some of the pics from today and then go to bed!
