Dec 22

Dolores has been busy baking and cooking different things for this coming weekend to try to make a little Christmas cheer for all of us especially the grandkids.   We are not traveling anywhere (no where to go to)  as many of you will be doing.  
Danae and i have done 2 vessico-vaginal fisutula repairs this week.  We have had a few other minor surgeries and some usual things such as hernias and hydroceles.   I did a flap reconstruction covering for a penis  that appears to be doing ok.  He had lost almost all of the skin of his penis and most of scrotum from a severe necrotizing infection.  We also did a pinch skin graft to a leg that had been severely burned on an exhaust pipe of a motorcycle.  Overall it has been slow lately as far as surgery is concerned but probably will pick up in a week or two.  
We are all well..  The camel and dogs and cats are well also.  The grandkids of course are excited about Christmas gifts that they might get.   
Out here there is almost no commercialization of Christmas as there is back in the USA.  There is more to do about New Years than Christmas.   Many people know nothing about Jesus and the plan of salvation.  
Our other children and grandchildren are getting together today at Janelle's in Oklahoma City.   At least last year we were all together for our 50th wedding anniversary.
