I was planning an interesting blog about rhinos and poaching. But that will have to wait. Meanwhile, in the morning and in the evening, and all parts in between, I’ll be lying on my side at the park inn in Sandton, Johannesburg.
Earlier in the week, I had my right retina detach and Nora and I left our tour group in Botswana to fly here for treatment. Surgery was yesterday, the day after we arrived. Amazingly, I was whisked from ophthalmologist through to surgery in 10 hours. Now the recovery starts. We could be here for another 3 weeks, and that’s if it’s a success. The doctor assured me I can’t fly now and not to expect good follow-up in Malawi. He said the same about Canada, but this was a little South Africa humour.
I hope to get to work soon, after all that’s why we’re here. The church is spending a lot on this much delayed abortive project! Delayed and thus shortened since we foolishly made returning travel plans.
Pray for us, if you are so inclined, as we await a return to Malawi.
In the Warm Heart of Africa 
Not the start you expected, I’m sure. Wishing you God’s healing and a speedy recovery.

Oh Steve, what a shame. This detached retina is reminisicent of last year, during the Choir Concert with your left retina. I know Nora is looking after you; marriage is like that – we take turns. Don & I are certainly praying for your speedy recovery. Take good care. Pam & Don Moore.
