Feeling good again!

Hello Everyone!
Jimmy here, just writing with a quick update on the island life!
Jenny and I just returned from a short stay in Suva, Fiji. There is a private hospital there, which I needed to visit after visiting the doctor here in Labasa. I had tonsillitis, and that turned into an infection that made all my joints ache, and my legs swell when I was on my feet. A 30 minute flight and a taxi ride later, we were in Suva and visiting another doc who did some blood tests, gave me a prescription, and said…”I’ve seen this before, take this, and you’ll be fine in a week!”
So here I am, 5 days later, feeling good, and well on my way back to 100%!
Suva was like stepping into another world compared to our Fijian home. Fast cars, traffic lights, even a shopping mall and a movie theatre! It was a nice place to visit, and Jenny and I especially enjoyed the lodge where we stayed. It was situated at the edge of the rain forest, with small cottages all arranged around a freshwater lake. Beautiful place, and there was even a restaurant where you could look out over the lake and feed the fish. We are planning a return trip so the kids can see the place.
While I’ve been sick, I have had so many people here caring for me. The family here on Vorovoro, along with the extended family on the neighboring island, and I even spent a night at the Chiefs house having my legs massaged by one of the local men. Everyone was doing their part to help, and I am glad to be well again, so I can begin to repay all of the well wishes.
Happy sledding to everyone back home, and know that we all miss everyone!

Until next time……..
