We got an update from one of our patients in Nicaragua, Jose Salomon Agurcia, and his son Juan Agurcia Rivas. We met Jose in May 2016 in Managua where he underwent bilateral knee surgery. Below is a letter he wanted to share about his progress. Pictured is Jose and his surgeon, Dr. Audley Mackel and one our dedicated volunteers, Carolyn Miller.
“My thanks to Operation Walk.
On May 9, 2016 almost a year ago, I underwent surgery on both knees at the Hospital Roberto Calderón school in Managua, Nicaragua. I was attended to by surgeons, physical therapists, nurses and other Operation Walk volunteers. God bless you and continue make a great work for the world. You are noble, educated friends, and with a humble smile tenderly that greatness.
We hope to see you in my country to visit, I feel good thanks to you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
