I'm sure you have been wondering where I have been... I must apologize for my prolonged absence. Here is the story:
Frinday, December 11, I was MedEvac-ed from Midway. Nothing serious, just a UTI likely brought about by dehydration, but because my symptoms were weird, the physician assistant on island thought it best to send me to Honolulu to be evaluated. I'm kind of glad he did as it took 3 hospital visits after I got there to get a diagnosis. I am back on Midway now, on antibiotics, and will hopefully get the blog up to date.
Now besides several medical visits, here were the highlights of my week in Honolulu.
Hula dancers doing a Christmas show on Waikiki beach after sunset. This was realy cool to see. In this picture we have the teenage girls, but during the duration of the show women and little girls aged from around five-years to seventy-five years danced. Even the the master teacher graced us with a dance.
I made matzo ball soup!! The thing I miss most about life on the mainland is having access to a kitchen and to ingredients. While in Honolulu, I stayed at the US Fish and Wildlife bunk house and made use of their kitchen. The soup out excellent. Thank you, Abby Dobbs, for the recipe. Happy Hanukkah!
Natalie and I went to the Valley of the Temples on the leeward side of Oahu.
Natalie is my friend who I met the first week I was out on Midway, she and two other EPA employees came out to Midway and volunteered for a week. The above picture of as taken when she was here. It was nice to catch up with her.
I rang the bell. Don't be fooled by its size... it rings very softly.
The Buddah.
