June
24
Today is the last public meeting for electioneering for Pak Yobana. Thousands of supporters meet in Pariaman for a rally where my medical clinic was a small appendix.
June 25
A busy clinic at a roadside Mosque - approx.
70 people examined.
June 26
Another Pariaman village clinic - with a late start as the village is far from Padang.
We went via an election meeting, for candidates at a football field. Eventually we get to clinic at village, next to a digger levelling the site for a new Mosque. Yobana and Yesika both come, and visit the clinic late in the afternoon.
June 27
Melioni is feverish today, unwell and this is probably malaria so we have a quiet day at Yesika house.
Early in the evening we go via car to the airport to meet my loyal volunteer from N.Z. Margaret T.
Unfortunately we hear on the way that Lion Air bumped her off at Jakarta so hopefully she will fly to Padang tomorrow. The people who took us to the airport also waited for a surfer who never arrived so we were home soon after 10 pm.
June 28
Back to airport by minibus to meet Margaret T, 32,000 rupiah to airport and 18,000 rupiah to return to Padang city by bus. Unfortunately Lion Air has snapped the guitar she brought.
Melioni improving and no clinics today.
June 29
Melioni develops a rash so I wonder about the possibility of Chikungunya disease, also from mosquitoes. She is improving slowly and we go to the market to try to see if we can get replacement guitar, and to fix notebook so emailing possibility returns.
June 30
We go to town and up to Rick Cameron's place to get some additional medical supplies, and to ensure the best date for medicines he is safely storing.
Perhaps we will get a plastic swimming pool for Melioni to cool down her now occasional fever. Today is voting day for Pak Yobana and we await the result.
