Today was a pier day. We had to muster at 6:00 so I was
up there at 5:50. Still have a sore throat. When we left the ships dock we were
out about 5 min and had to go back to get someone. When we got to the dock the
guy looked at us and then said he didn't want to get on. The ride was a bit
choppy. We had to stop at the shuttle boats supply boat and pick up two large coolers of water bottles.
It was nice for the first hour and then we had rain for the rest of the day.
Our box where we do the x-rays was flooding with water some were pushing it out
with the side of a clip board. The Dutch lady and I decided we were not going
to walk into the town in the rain and be wet the rest of the day so we stayed
back and did x-rays and ate the MRE packed military food. My throat is still
sore after 2 days and not getting any better so I am going to start taking the
z pack in hopes it clears up. My mouth in getting canker sores to eating is not
fun as I don't have decent milk to drink or things soft to eat so it limits
meal time. We did get the ice drink Halo halo so that felt good.
I got to face
time Danielle and dad so hopefully I can get Maddie and Steve in the next two
days. Today we had two of the main humanitarian people come on board so I
talked to dad's co worker Lynn Samsel. Not too much else. Did 92 chest films on
the pier from 7:00 till 2:00 and then just relaxed.
Hope Dad has fun on the YM
camp. I want to see if some of the ladies want to do the Marriott hotel instead
of the temple housing. Really need a good shower and sleep before the 24 hour
plane trip. Will have to ask.
Love you all. Mom/Caroline
92 X-rays! That's amazing. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI hope your mouth and throat feel better. Thank goodness for medication, right?
I'm glad you don't have to eat an MRE every day. I hear they're not the best, but at least it's something.
I hope the rain slows down. We could use some here. There are lots of wild fires burning in Utah right now. The only thing that would make it good is if Jamie got to come up and help out, but that hasn't happened yet.
Love you!
