Can you imagine 40 people coming over from Maui on the ear- ly morning Saturday ferry to help us with a community cleanup on Lana‘i? Well, it happened. The Wailea/Kihei Rotary reached out to support their neighbors on Lana‘i and came to- gether for this community steward- ship project with Lana‘i residents and Castle & Cooke employees to work on clearing a pathway to the ocean at Kalaehi - commonly re- ferred to as “White Stone.” How did we get so lucky? Who would take the time and money to come over to Lana‘i to spend their day on a cleanup project? It all started with a phone call from Lis Richardson of the Wailea Rotary Maui Rotary member, Carol Perry, to her good friend Sue Murray who helped pick up broken glass and trash. is the Principal Broker at Island Bentos, brownies and time to relax – a great way to end our day at Kalaehi. of Lana‘i Properties.

Duane used to take her to work with him, tucked into the front of his shirt so she’d be warm and he’d be able to keep close track of her whereabouts. Many a visitor to his office would be startled to see his tummy jiggle and then see this little head with huge eyes peek out. One day, Duane took Teeny to Honolulu with him for a brown bag lunch/meeting. We had our own Cessna 150 at that time so it was no problem. As he prepared to fly home after the meeting, he put her in the plane but left the door open as he pushed the plane back away from its mooring. Teeny, curious about what was happening, looked out the door, fell out and got her tummy pinched by the front wheel. She seemed okay, so they proceeded home as scheduled. That evening, I noticed that she seemed to have difficulty breathing. Of course, Duane denied that there was anything wrong with her but when we took her to Dr. Palumbo that weekend, he confirmed that her breathing was labored, especially if you tipped her head down, tail up. Nick suspected that being pinched by the wheel did cause a problem.

The Lāna‘i Times, October 2008 t 17 Dealing With Medical Emergencies While Traveling by Sheila Black Having an ill spouse is cause for concern; having an ill spouse on a trip away from home is distressing; having an ill spouse in a for- eign country can be terrifying. I know; it hap- pened to me when my husband and I were on a cruise from San Diego to Panama and back. Fortunately, we had prepared for the possibil- ity and being prepared paid off! First of all, since our first cruise more than 15 years ago, we have always taken the best trip insurance offered by the cruise line. In our pre- vious 29 cruises with Princess cruises, we never needed the insurance but this time, we were glad we had it. There were no problems at the medical center onboard the ship, transferring to a hospital in Puerto Vallarta or making ar- rangements to fly home. Our ship’s doctor im- mediately contacted the insurance agent and within two hours of my husband being admit- ted to the San Javier Marina Hospital, I re- ceived a phone call from the insurance agency and received a call daily until our airline res- ervations were confirmed and a copy of our itinerary faxed to our hotel. A few days after Robin, Duane and Sheila Black our return to Hawaii, they contacted me again to be sure we had gotten home and to offer assistance in filing our claim for reimburse- ment. (Incidentally, because our ship’s doctor works full time for Princess, he was personally familiar with medical facilities throughout the itinerary and was able to make better decisions and give us more detailed information of what to expect.) Second, we traveled with copies of our Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions, which authorizes each other to make medical decisions and sign any legal documents required by physicians and/or hospitals. Trust me, when you are so ill that you need to be hospitalized on a trip, you are in no condition to make decisions and sign legal documents! Third, in addition to the above documents, we carried a list of our physicians, their phone numbers, our prescription medications and a list of our current immunizations. I was able to give the medical center information, which enabled the ship’s doctor to contact my hus- band’s physician via phone and email to obtain background information and then relay all of Duane, Robin and Sheila Black that information to the Mexican physicians and hospital without any difficulty or delay. It made their decisions about dealing with my husband’s symptoms easier, faster and more valid. (If you can get them, list their fax numbers and email addresses well.) Fourth, I kept extensive notes at each medical center and dur- ing each visit with/from the physicians and copies of each physician’s report of tests, lab results, evaluations and diagnoses. In addition, I kept, in a zippered plastic bag, receipts from the ship, the hospital and the hotel we stayed at after he was discharged from the hospital as we waited for the insurance agency to arrange for our flights home. When my husband was seen by his primary care physician and later, admitted to the emergency center and consequently the hospital, I was able to relay the medical information to the emergency staff, again making their task easier, faster and more valid. (In addition to keeping the information in the right chronological order and the facts straight, it forced me to keep calm, focused and organized during the ordeal.) When it came time to complete the forms requesting reimburse- ment from our medical plan and the insurance company, I had all of the required medical reports and receipts I needed in one place. At the completion of each claim form, I attached a cover letter. I made a copy of every page for myself and mailed it off, return receipt re- quested. If I had not heard from the company after three weeks, I would have called to ask how the claim was progressing. My husband got better and we took our next trip – a European river cruise and visit with our second son and his wife in Virginia – with our updated lists of physicians and medications safely packed in two separate carry-on bags. Note: If you are traveling with a companion, be sure that he/she knows where you keep your documents and that your emergency con- tact has a copy attached with a copy of your itinerary.
