My last doctor’s visit

I went to the hospital again on Friday to have my collar bone checked out. I had another x-ray, and it shows that the bone has started to mend, though the doctor told me it will probably be 2-3 months before it’s completely healed. Since the bone has started mending I don’t need to wear the horribly uncomfortable brace anymore. Hooray!

I played pool last night for the first time since the accident. I only played 4 games, and I played them all left-handed, as my right shoulder and arm are still quite sore. I did pretty well considering… Even won a game, but it’s because Billy scratched on the 8 ball. Even so, the other games I only had 1 or 2 balls left on the table when my opponents won. Can’t wait to go back to playing right-handed though. It’s so much easier.

Along with the broken collar bone, I’ve been fighting a throat infection. I took all the antibiotics the Dr gave me, but it seems that this stuff is lingering… Maybe my immune system is a bit weaker than usual since my body’s trying to heal a broken bone? I’ve been trying to get a lot of vitamin C and calcium to help, but I’m still feeling rough. It’ll be nice to have a long holiday to go home for a while soon, and not have to work.

Only a week of work left

I can’t believe how fast a year’s flown by. Thursday is the last day of our contract. We’ll go to Yogyakarta in Central Java for a short vacation before we head home to Seattle. Yogyakarta has many ancient historical buildings and temples in and around the city, including:

• Borobudur – said to be the largest Buddhist monument in the world, dating back to the 9th century.
• Prambanan – a collection of Hindu temples, that were built during the 10th century.
• Kraton – the palace of the sultan of Yogyakarta.

We’ll be in Yogyakarta for a few days, then back to Bandung, and on to Seattle for a month.
