A visit to the Hospital

Well first off, it's not for me but I had some meetings at the hospital. But before I begin, the major attacks of the other day one of the Army guys was reported not injured too badly but he took a turn for the worst so please pray for him. They won't release his name. My visit to the hospital opened my eyes to the realilty of war. I saw things that will be with me forever. I'm am so amazed by the professionalism of the hospital staff that it makes me really feel good to know that so many people dedicate their lives to helping others in a combat zone. Most of them are not young, most are my age or older and are at the hospital doing what they do best, fix people. The conditions in which they work would never be acceptable in the good ole USA because of the.....dust. (Sorry) The facilities are in tents and these tents are a match away from a terrible tragedy. Please pray for these folks since they do incredible work in difficult conditions. I've made it one of my reasons for being here to change their environment; as well as many other operational things that need to be fixed for many many reasons that I can't say here.

On another subject, I've decided to start a work out routine. I need a break throught the day so why not lift some weights. Well people back in Phoenix told me I have skinny legs so when I return to Phoenix I will probably have too much muscle and mass that I'm sure I'll need new clothes. But the bad part of the work out is afterward when "the ritual" has to be done now twice a day, which I think I've already told you, I'm uncomfortable in the shower area; maybe it's the skinny legs. And that is that
