Monday 25 June - Falling out of bed

I slept in till 6:00 am. It felt pretty good to get a little extra sleep. I still have a sore throat that is bad in the morning then OK then sore at night. I am on the pier the next three days so I will have to see how it goes. The employee sick hours are 8:00 - 10:00 and 1:00 - 2:00. Wonder what you do if you get sick at another time of the day. 

The day started off at 6:30 with one of our new ladies, who just got on board, fell off her upper bunk. She got the wind knocked out of her and hit her back. They did a "911" and brought her to x-ray and CT. She looks like she has a small fracture in her T. Spine so I have no idea what they will do. 

I did give them my flight numbers and confirmation. Then they said I might need an original to give them. Now where do they think I will get an original print out?  (If this is how the country and church is running we are all in trouble.)  The rest of the morning was pretty slow. I did go to the OR from 1:00 - 4:00 to do an humerus reduction. 

Got an email today at noon (Monday) that was dated Saturday, if we need to cash any checks they have to be done 7 days prior to leaving the ship. Well that was yesterday. Missed the 1:00 time they were open in the dispensing bank, being in the OR, so I went down at 6 and said I just got the email and wanted to have cash for going home. The guy was nice and said he would still cash it. Took out $200 so I can pay for the tour trip, help Jennifer pay for hers (it was way more than they originally told us) and have money for things I buy in Manila. May get some at the ATM debit so, Mont I will keep you posted if I need funds transferred. 

Still feel tired and hope to get to bed early as I have to be up at roll call at  6:00 am for the next three days for the pier. Will get to go into town if it is not raining too bad. Nice to talk to everyone today. Hope we might get to face time. We will try the dutch lady's daughter on my iPad also. Hope the connection works better. If I  have trouble I will try and call to check if you are there. Today they forgot to take the satellite phone so if that happens we will be out of luck. 

Love all you, time is coming to a close so fast. Will be home before I know it. Will try and send pictures. Love, Mom/Caroline
