Things are finally improving, health wise. My blood pressure is way down (120/70) and I don't have to catheterize everyday to urinate. I have an enlarged prostrate (benign) called BPH. I just had minor lazer surgery 2 days ago and got home yesterday from St Lukes Hospital. I should be fully recovered in a week or two.
I'm now working on purchasing 30+ laptops to be shipped to Tanzania for the Kowak Secondary teachers. That is finally starting to come together, although the prices are a little higher than I paid last Sept (used Dell D610's). I just shipped some tubing fittings to TZ to repair our hospital water purifier (RO) since it's impossible to find those parts there. They finally got the power supply rewired for the same RO that burned up last July due to a voltage surge.
I called Fr Jim at the mission last week. They have a new clinical officer (CO) now at the hospital and are expecting a new doctor (AMO) in May which will make it a real hospital instead of a 50 bed healthcare center. He is now busy building 2 new wings on the hospital for a new surgery theatre and room for 50 more beds. He is very busy, as usual.
Barbara just returned to Kowak from a month at home in Poland and is now calling Kowak "home". Alex must be thrilled to have her back. I'm sure the hospital is also very glad to see her. Dr John from So Carolina is talking about coming again in May for a month to do dental work at the hospital and Fr Jim has approved two more American volunteer nurses to come for 2 months about May also.
