We visited the Tamavua wards today. It is always fun to visit these wards as we have so many YSAs in both wards, and even parents of YSAs; it feels like home here.
Here is the update on my doggy bite:
*the collagen sheets (that are not really collagen, but new technology) are doing a miraculous work
*the depth of the wound is up by 1/4 in only 3 days.
*there is one heart shaped piece of the wound that is not responding yet, but the nurse and doctor think that will eventually happen
*the only pain is caused by nerve regeneration--we think--and if it is, I will live with it
*I still have a huge bandage around my calf, but that is mostly for my peace of mind. I feel safer with a big bandage although it does make my calf look like a thigh. SIGH
*there have been lots of little miracles along the way and I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who has provided me with these miracles. One of which was the doctor mentioning as an aside that it was sad that collagen sheets were not available in Fiji. We would never have thought about it had the doctor not mentioned it. Tender mercy.
Why do some people have more faith than others? Why do some people seem to have tons of trials while others have few. I have been thinking about the wonderful Taufoga couple and how well they are living with the loss of their daughter. Sister Taufoga was in church today. I watched as she went around thanking people for their thoughtfulness, car, and love. When I told her that she was one of my heroes, I meant it. I watched her today exemplify the very character of Jesus Christ--looking outward instead of inward. I hope that I will always remember her example.
Ate dinner at the Whiteheads. Sister Whitehead is a wonderful cook.
