Arnie

This is Arnie, our precious old one-horned water buffalo in the zoo at Hilo. He's one of our favorites. He'll usually come over, when called, to get his head rubbed.

Arnie represents how I am feeling now...old! Got home yesterday after a 4 1/2-week hospital stay. The surgery went wonderfully...got all that little rascal...but the recovery took a while so my re-aligned insides could figure out exactly what to do. At least the doctors didn't send me home before my body was ready.

It was great to sleep on my own bed, and I can already feel my strength returning.

Mahalo for all your messages of healing and cheer.
