Fixing Things That Are Broken

Angie has a problem with her knee joint and tried unsuccessfully to have it surgically repaired this summer in Price :-(
She is recuperating with Carlee's loving care:-)

Mom/Grandma has an index finger that the joint has been destroyed by psoriatic arthritis and was just surgically fused :-(
These are pictures before the surgery. Hopefully it will look better after!

AND . . .

On Monday - August 30, 2010 - I had surgery on my right eye to replace the natural lens that had a cataract on it with a new, crystal clear, bright , shiny artificial lens. WOW! I can't believe how good I can see from that eye now. The lawn has individual blades of grass - Skilly is no longer just covered with brown fuzz - the grout lines in the tile are really dirty! - the windows need cleaned - the stars in the sky are a pinpoint instead of huge starbursts - there is ONE moon! - and WOW! NOW my left eye is driving me crazy because it is so hazy with the cataract covering it - TO BE REMOVED THIS COMING TUESDAY - and it was my good eye until Monday last. I really could not see well and didn't completely recognize it. When I left the surgical center on Monday afternoon the surgeon said, "Well, that was the worst one (cataract) so far today." They did 10 cataract surgeries Monday. Tuesday morning when I went to the office for a check-up the attending nurse said something like, "You kept the 'worst of the day' distinction for yesterday. Your cataract was ugly - I don't know how you could see much of anything at all." Oh, and there was not any pain. Can you believe how great that is? My eye felt a little scratchy and irritated for the first day or so. It looks a little 'watery' or wavy when I look to the side or down or up, but the surgery was so easy and with such wonderful results. I am looking forward to the new perspective I will have after getting a new lens in my left eye on Tuesday, September 7. Yay!

MISSIONARY blessings - good work - and fun!

While spending some time at the Missionary Rehabilitation Center in Manila for medical tests Elder Pincock was blessed to be able to attend the temple each day.

He wrote, ". . . one day I went to the temple I did not go with the other Elders. They went in the morning and I wanted to go in the afternoon for some reason. I went in the afternoon and when I got there one of the families that I got really close with in my last area named the Floza family was there. I got to see them, it was so awesome to get to see them, I was so surprised to see them. They were there and their daughter was getting married that day. I got to attend the wedding in the temple; it was a really cool experience."

SOME GOOD WORK ELDERS!

sOME iSLAND p-DAY fUN!
