28 Feb, Tues

Tues, 28 Feb .... tried to get things organized for tomorrow's boat trip. we will leave the dock at 7:30am and go pick them up again. we emailed them a copy of the Release form, so i don't need to take a lot of pens with me, and spend time doing that when we pick them up. John, the original John, is such a nice person ! he said he would be here at 6:30am to help me get the boat set up. i'm going to miss him too. John spent all morning today in the Hyperbaric Chamber helping Jungle Jim with a guy that has been having treatments in there for the last 3 days. the Chamber is capable of delivering 100% oxygen to the patient, this is the treatment for decompression .... this 'kid' works for a 'company' and dives down very deep for lobsters. he was brought in several days ago by a friend, .... because he couldn't walk, ... he was paralyzed from the chest down, due to not following proper procedures for surfacing from deep diving. i guess they don't have good equipment and don't take what they do seriously, and neither does the company they work for. this is the second time this 'kid' has had to have treatments! you'd think he'd learn, but they continue to do it because they make 'good' money. it's VERY expensive to have the treatments; and of course none of the locals ever pay. ...but the kid is now able to walk, still has a catheter and is still having urinary problems .... but he will be ok ... he's very lucky! ....someone has to be in the Chamber with the patient, and today was John's turn. i am enjoying my working days being with Shark Bait .... he is a sweet kitty, but always wanting more food ... i keep giving it to him ... he's a growing boy ! ...this is him, asking for more food ... so after John finished in there, we worked a little more, then finally called it a day. i hadn't eaten since my PB&J this morning and forgot my water. i got cleaned up and went to the Indian Wok for dinner, with my date, ...my favorite MacBookAir laptop, ....i love this laptop! then stopped in to visit with Valentine for a little while. .. so i went home happy :) Skyped with Mom and Daddy .... they're looking good, they are awesome! checked my email at about 9:30. i had an email from the Whale Shark Manager, sent at about 9pm .... the Release Forms didn't get filled out, so we'll have to do that with the guests after we pick them up, .... so there has been a change in plans and we will be leaving a half hour earlier tomorrow than scheduled !!!!! ...i have no way to get in touch with either John, nor either of the Dive Masters to let them know they need to be there a half hour earlier .... this doesn't make me happy ... and it's no way to operate a business ... at least not one i'm part of .... volunteering for :(
