Tuesday 26 June - Another Pier Day


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

  1. 92 X-rays! That's amazing. Wow!

    I 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!
