Ten Boom Museum


The front of the Ten Boom watch store
The hiding place. Six people stayed in this tiny little compartment for 2 days!
It's only about 3ft by 10ft.
This is the hole the fugitives crawled in to get into the hiding place. (Elmien and Anri).

Holland

It's ALIVE!!! Lobster in market center.
Bread, bread, and more bread
Anri (my cousin) in front of CHEESE!!!
The people in Holland ride everywhere on their bikes so bike stands are logical. :)

Work in the UK

Kirsty (nurse) holding puppy
It's a girl!!!
A boy and a girl!!! :)
Happy reunion!!! ;)


Focus, Matt, Focus!!!
Matt and George doing a Myelogram on a cat. That's where you inject dye into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord so that in an x-ray you can see if a disk has pushed into the cord or not. It requires accuracy and a steady hand.
If a disk has pushed into the spinal cord then an opperation called a Laminectomy will follow. This where you remove part of the vertibra and collapsed disk(s).


Karen (nurse) feeding Piglett.
Piglett, only a few days old was abandoned by his mother. Sher was really too young to have any kittens anyway.
Another little one (younger). She's not from the same litter, but was abandoned too.
Elmien and Piglett




Well, I thought since we came here to work (or at least Matt did) I might post some pics so y'all can see how that is going. Elmien, who was helping out at the surgery, has stopped working. Matt stops on 12 October.




These are just some highlights.
