Vet Clinic
We have almost destroyed ourselves with the hours we’ve been keeping in the vet clinic. We’ve bested our record each night. We thought 7:30 pm was staying late. Huh!! Last night it was 10pm and tonight it was midnight!! Thank god tomorrow is the last night, as we are anticipating doing an all-nighter. We are all thankful that Mia gets on a plane Tuesday morning at 10am, or this could go on forever. She has a good 20 years on us older folks, and it seems she could go on and on, but we are fading fast and will be grateful for the week’s sleep after she is gone.
I’m sure none of us would have signed on for this gig if we had known how intense it would be, but we have learned an enormous amount, and for myself, I could be an anesthesiologist when this is all over. I trained an assistant today, so I can take a break now and then (good when you are doing 15 hour days). I can also give injections to dogs and cats. One of the local surgeons even came in tonight to help out and can now do surgery on animals! Mia is an excellent surgeon so we are learning from the best. We have a well-oiled team, so she doesn’t even have to tell us what to do. By the time she asks for something it is already done!!! She wants us to follow her to the other Pacific islands, but we are all thinking we will avoid any island she is on (only kidding!). Karen

Ted and Karen,
Delighted to learn about your new website. Since I have been following your travels word-for-word, I look forward to more of same via this site. Ted, your participation in the CC has been greatly missed. To the extent you wish to use your website to provoke this old Conservative, I'll be happy to oblige!
In the meantime, I hope that back of yours manages to mend itself so that Karen doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting for you! At least you don't have that bike to wrestle. Karen, loved hearing of all your vet work!
Frank
