This
journal will wane a bit as its intent is retelling memories in China, and
we are not in China. To respond to your interest as to why we are prematurely
in Oregon, I will write some notes about our health. Our health is not a
very exciting story, but it is the reason we are not in China, so the progress
is temporarily relevant.
Denvy's first appointment with his doctor
was a casual conversation as he said that the specialist would have to do
the same poking and prodding later. He said the symptons were not consistent
with an enlarged prostrate. The specialist set an appointment for Monday,
but Denvy's body didn't wait. On Thursday Denvy spent the morning in the
hospital to receive temporary relief until Monday. So Monday will be the
next step.
While Denvy was in ER, Gail had her appointment,
discovering no skeletal problems but finding inflamed muscles. Probably
contributing factors to her backache are standing for long periods of time
in the classroom and a change of lifestyle from a waterbed in America to
a very stiff bed in China, and from walking on wood and grass to always
walking and standing on concrete. A rest in Oregon and some supportive medication
should have her running again soon.
