Vang

Dogs dont get names here much but when they do Vang (yellow) is a common one.....he escorted me part way home tonight

can't believe the ridiculous day i had yesterday... it told on me today- i had to force myself out of bed at 11 and just felt washed out.. no energy for the 20 minute walk in disgusting humidity to visit the bears....
good news - my work place is happy to follow my doctors suggestions - so just 2 more weeks off, then 2 weeks light duties (eg. no tossing bears over my shoulder) then normal work.
in the meantime i am working hard on stretching and loosening and strengthening my left hand (in case I have to slap any more revolting men :) ) - going to try and see a western trained physio who has returned to Hanoi also....
again thanks everyone for good wishes - I'm glad to be home now and am so relieved I still have a future as a bear nurse- its quite confronting to think you may lose everything and i spiralled into despair for a while there...
but no more... as soon as I'm back working with my bears you're going to get a bear hugging smiling rae blip!
