We have a house!
Mike: I accepted the third floor house that they offered me. I think it's perfect for the three of us. The living room is large but the restroom is small. We probably won't be able to talk on the phone for the next couple of days because I don't know how long it will take for them to connect the phone in the house, which also means that I will be extra lonely since I won't be able to talk to you, but I will keep in contact with you through blog and emails. I also plan to buy another phone card, that way, I can call you using the phones here at lodging. I will probably talk to mom during the day, then she can pass on the informantion to you.
Another thing I like about living on base is that our cable is free. We don't have to pay for cable, so the only thing that we'll pay for is the phone bill. I was also told that if we buy a Multi TV, we can get more channels than just the regular (fewer) channels. I figured, if its free, we might as well get all the channels, right? Ok hun, I have to go, but don't forget to call me tonight, no matter what time it is here.
Olive: Yay! I'm glad that's settled, that's one less thing for you to worry about. I know it's sometimes frustrating to deal with people who have different values, cultures, and beliefs (not to mention, language) than ours, but you're doing a wonderful job.
Today was our community health clinical. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was kinda nervous visiting patients at their house, not knowing how they would react to me being in their house, but I guess I have to remember that I am there to take care of them. My first patient was a 76 year-old male who has a small wound (but would not heal) in his left foot. All I did was clean the wound and change the dressing. One sad thing that I noticed about the old man is that he's very lonely. His wife passed away a few years ago and he refuse to move to a nursing care facility, so, he's living by himself. But since he's homebound, he has a lady that comes over to his house to clean, prepare food, and take him to appointments. He was so eager to talk when I got there, he was telling me what sports he likes and how his favorite team did. It was a good first day in community health for me.
Mahal, I miss you so much. It's really frustrating because I can't even take care of you. I hope you feel better. Keep taking your meds and drink lots of fluids, okay?
