Hand Surgery Again!

Janet had surgery for carpal tunnel problems in February on her right hand in Utah and it has done very well.  About three months ago her left hand started having carpal tunnel problems and continued to get worse until another trip to Utah for surgery was needed. She left September 6th and had surgery on September 11th.  (She is grateful she only has two hands.) She stayed with Lisa and Heather in Utah.  With them she did fun things like attend the Utah State Fair and Rodeo, Rachel's school carnival, gymnastics lessons, and had visits with Janet Harmon, Shirley Millar, Sondra Bennion, and Margie Newbold, and a get together with her brothers and their wives to view photo's of Richard and Brenda's visit to Africa. 

She then traveled to Issaquah to see Michael and his family for four days.  There they went to the zoo, a skate boarding park, gymnastics, and had fun riding bikes and scooters, and going to the park. She returned to Utah for stitch removal, then flew back to Botswana September 22nd. (It is amazing what lengths some grandparents will go to in order to see their grandkids). The two and three year olds were especially enjoying their Halloween costumes.  She is most grateful for her kids taking good care of her and for the doctor who would fit a missionary from Africa into his busy schedule.

Bob stayed in Botswana to keep the work progressing there.  He will serve a month longer than Janet will on their mission.
