Exercise can hurt you! Gail's experience in the hospital.

Gail was on an early morning walk with Sister Healy who also lives at our apartment complex.  While walking, Gail stepped on an uneven area of pavers and fell---resulting in a cracked knee cap and a broken wrist.  We are forunate that one of the better hospitals in Jakarta is 10 minutes from our apartment.  The church physican from Hong Kong just happen to be in Jakarta and was able to review Gail's case and confer with the local orthopedic surgeon before the surgery which put all of us at ease.  The care was very good--everyone at the hospital was very nice and helpful.  This all happened on July 11th--exactly one year from the date we entered the Mission Training Center last year!

Hmmm, how much do we want to spend on this?

Waiting for surgery.  The sign reads "Fasting".  We went to the ER around 8am, surgery was that evening at 7pm.  July 11th was a holiday in Jakarta, so it took time to get an OR team called in, etc.  The surgery seems to have been successful.

Following are some pictures of her room.  It was a nice, private room with air conditioning, etc.  The food was excellent. Depending on the level of care you choose, you can be in a room with up to eight other patients, no air conditioning, provide your own food, etc.  We were there for two days.

Leaving the hospital.  Three of the many people that took care of Gail.  The people at the Service Center where we work brought her the flowers.
