Special Thanks

One thing that I forgot in my last post was to mention all of those kind people who helped me while I've been sick. These are in no real order, but just as I thought of them at about 7am when I started to feel better this morning. And, I'm sure that I'm forgetting a couple of you...sorry!

Rhoda/Regina Logistica -- talking to Dr. Anders; checking up on me; getting me water, juice, crackers, and a popsicle (even if it was too sweet for me to stomach at the time); probably a million other things

Dr. Anders -- telling me what to do, and what not to do; for a house call

Dr. Schuler -- telling me not to go up to the site

President Holst, Dr. Chambers, Dan, Stephanie -- telling me to stop Monday

Tabitha -- for offering me just about anything one can imagine (kool aid, vitamins, a movie, and so much more)

Kody -- for walking with me from the truck to my room, and getting me a Sprite Monday

Kristina -- for keeping an eye on me that I didn't start shaking from the fever

Andrea -- for checking that I was breathing Tuesday mornning

Just about everyone else -- for checking to see how I was doing

I didn't go up to the site again today, which was a good idea once again. 5:30am-7am was no fun for me. But after that, I've begun to feel much better. Sure, I may not be quite to 100% quite yet, but I can hope that tomorrow by 5am I will be. I already know I won't be allowed to dig on my square tomorrow if I do go up, I'll be working on mosiac. I guess that will help me decide if I want to do that the last 2 weeks, or if I'll have more fun digging myself into holes.

Sadly, my computer died last night sometime around 9:30pm. Although it was gone before that, the surgery was unsuccessful with Dr. Schuler operating and Jessica assisting around that time. Thankfully, we'll be able to do a transplant of the hard drive so that we can get the information that I need off of it, and my roommate has offered her computer to be the donor. I almost wish we could have a proper burial for my computer by throwing it into the Sea of Galilee, but I think the Help Desk still probably wants it back.

Hi, Amanda. Hope you can get back to the site tomorrow. Don't throw your computer in the Sea of Galilee. I'm sure it can be fixed by your dad. Also, as of July 1 all electronic parts in Minnesota can no longer be thrown in the landfill. They will have to have special processing at the landfill sites. Haven't heard too much about it yet, but had my stove fixed and the computer panel that came out couldn't be tossed in the garabage. It's obvious you have lots of caring people around you and we thank God for that. Stay safe and have fun.
Lois
