Tacos-

If there is anything from America that you want, your friends can send it to me very cheap through the American government postal system to Okinawa. Then I can send it to you by Japanese rail express.

Also, if there is anything from the U.S. that you miss, I can buy it for you in the American stores in Okinawa and also send that.

Here's my email again - jturner at sunny-net.ne.jp

Mister E-

I don't have her current address. The card she got from me went to a Tokyo hospital but the card sent to the Hiroshima rehab center was returned.

Tacos must send us her current address herself.

Tacos I'm so glad you're on the mend. Can't wait to see you back over here on the rocks one day soon. Keep up the great work in rehabbing your injury. Miss you!

Don't know why I didn't notice this thread until now...

Anyway, I've never met Tacos, but if there's anything I can do in the way of liaison or other help from here in Tokyo, either for Tacos herself or for any of her U.S. friends - let me know. Contact is tokyobill123 at hotmail dot com.

Hello ! How are you? I really wanted to say to you thank you for your gift when I got some cards,flowers,presents,cheer messages. But sorry for very late appreciate to you. Because of my injury, I could not use my hands at long time also I could not use the internet. My around people did not use English but now I can have time to use PC a week 5-6hours with OT Rehab time. but you know I use only my left hand so I can not e-mail a lot.
Well The flight was Casper to LA by chartered air plain, LA to Tokyo by commercial air plain. My brother came and took me back to Japan from WY. He can not speak English but some kind people helped him then we could be back to Japan safely.

Well, I can contact you now. And I find a lot support from you. I can not say enough thank you. And I got a lot of power and energy to Rehab and recovery my injury. I am really appreciate to you. I thought again I have a lot of the kindest friends.
Now I can walk slowly with 4point cane and orthosis. My left hand can do some work uumm…..typing keyboard, eating with some device, changing my cloths, washing my cloths with machine. I can go to restroom by myself.

Now I am Rehab in Hiroshima Japan my mum come visit me a week once. (my parent house a little far from here)When I come back from WY ,　I Rehab in Tokyo. My mum stayed some hostel near there so she with me everyday, it was very helpful and nice to me. Then I have to move to Okayama Rehab Center in 4 Jan 2010. It will be more far from my parent house so she will not visit my place often like now. But I am getting independent and I am getting strong inside. I will miss her. I am still growing little by little, thinking positive. I miss outdoor and rock climbing life in North America. I miss climbers. The 3years when I had stayed in North America was the best in my life. I am always thinking about “ I will not regret if anytime I die” ,so I try my best for that. I still homesick North American life in 3years and my climber friends. I still want to back to there.

I will keep writing my growth in my blog so please check it. http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/tacos/

Thank you very much again. Keep in touch.

Enjoy your life

Merry X`mas and happy new year

Bear Hugs and Love

Tacos
I have looked at your photo pages. What a marvelous tour you've had.
I was very sad to hear of your accident and injuries.
I'm now pleased to see you are being well cared for and are moving forward.
Your adventures and your courage are beautiful. Stay strong.
