Home Sweet Home

I picked her up this morning. She’s home now. She’s missing PePe but in good spirit all things considered. The hospital gave us a wheelchair to keep for a while in case she needs it. She’s eating as well which is good. Aunty Theingi ordered some delicious food for May May. I’m dealing with pensions and other major admin at the moment. Ye Lay is home and I will go back later this afternoon also.
Mezaligone Days
Peter spent eleven years at Mezaligone.
He opened a clinic and treated the villagers often free of charge.
He even paid a few to have surgery at a hospital.
He shared the water from his 180-ft deep well with his neighbors.
He invited them once a month to have Mohinga or some other treat.
He had to order tablets to purify the drinking water. Still he head to treat patients for dysentery and diarrhea.
