I woke this morning feeling good. I had some weird dreams but nothing about Matthew. Scott came by and said, he had to get to work. He was so sweet asking if I missed him. I said, yes and understood why he couldn’t stay. Besides all he would be doing was sitting here while most of the time I was sleeping. He made me promise that if my condition changed I would call him. I told him yes, but this morning I was feeling good. Just before breakfast Conner showed up and had breakfast with me. He talked about how he gained 5 lbs. from all the food yesterday and they kept trying to get him to take more back to his room. I agreed it was really good. He asked if I wanted to go outside again and I said, it would be great. Dr. Walton showed and Conner said, he would be back at lunch. Dr. Walton and I had a good talk. I told him I didn’t dream about Matthew last night but I still miss him very much. I went outside with Conner again but didn’t have much to talk about. We didn’t stay long it was kind of chilly out. In my room we watch some shows and after dinner I was tired so Conner went back to his room. Scott texted several times to say he loved me. Over all it was a good day.
The four men and a pilot had picked up a nice plane and were on their way to their destination. There was Josh who goes with Megan, Devin has been cooking in the kitchen. Jacob who had been a vet and Mike who was a Medic. All 4 had done extractions before and were highly experience at it. Everyone had been told it was told secret and not to tell anyone were they were going. All the men had settled in and checked their equipment thinking if it was top secret they might have a big fight on there hands. They rested, played cards or other forms of entertainment. Josh went to bed in the large bed in back. He said, the kids wore him out and all the food made him sleepy.
Matthew woke up feeling really good with little pain. The doctor was the there and asked how he was doing. He said, he felt good and well rested. The doctor said, good. He said, I am going change your bandages, get you some shoes, wrap your chest and then I think you will be ready to go. The doctor took the needle out of his hand, the catheter out and unwrapped his hands. The doctor said, I think we should put some more salve on the left one and wrap again. The doctor sent the young monk to find some shoes for Matthew. The doctor wrapped Matthew’s chest and then treated his left hand. Then he took the bandages off his feet. The doctor said, they are looking good but I need you to stay off them. He put salve and bandages on his feet. He then gave Matthew some shoes and said to stay off his feet as much as possible. Matthew asked how Jean was doing and the doctor said, he is doing good. I have seen a lot worst. Matthew said, can he travel? The doctor said, very carefully. Maybe a stretcher, but he needs lost of rest. Matthew said, thankyou. Matthew asked the young monk if he could see the high monk and he also wanted to move all his belongings including the goats to the helicopter room. Also could he get something to eat? Matthew said, I am starved. The young monk said, no problem and went to get the food first. When he returned with the plate Matthew took a bite and said, thankyou brother this is so good. The young monk went to find a couple more monks to help him move everything.
Matthew kissed the donkey and thanked him. He then gave the donkey to the head Monk asking he be good to the donkey because he was so good to Matthew and Jean.
It took them almost a whole day to reach Matthew and Jean. Matthew and Jean were so glad to see them.They had to put Jean in the hycopter on a stretcher but they were happy he was alive. The guys just looked at Matthew as he handed them the goats one but one. The goats were frightened from the noise the hycopter made, so they had to hold them. One guy said to Matthew where have you been? Matthew said, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you. The guys said, we all thought you were dead, you have been gone so long. Matthew said, how long. The guy said, six months. Matthew looked at him in disbelief. Matthew called Carlson and told him they were going right to the hospital when they got back and not to tell anyone they were back. He told the guys in the helicopter not to tell anyone they were back. Matthew said, I don’t want my wife to see me like this and Jean doesn’t want his girlfriend to see him like that. The men all agreed. They were just glad they were back
