Lu-Ann Aguilar (aka Miss Lu-Ann) was an Educational Assistant (EA) at Princess Kaiulani Elementary School, one of the schools I spent a lot of time subbing at.
She shared a classroom with a Special Education teacher Peggy Barretto (aka Miss Peggy) which was their headquarters before they go to different inclusion classrooms to help students who needed extra assistance.
Miss Lu-Ann also assisted the school's JPO's (Junior Police Officer), which are basically student crossing guards.
When I subbed at the school, it was always a joy whenever I had the chance to talk with Miss Lu-Ann. We would compare notes on what we observed from the students we worked with that day. She had a good sense of humor about situations, but she could also be stern with students who misbehaved.

I have learned that Miss Lu-Ann passed away on Saturday, August 1st.
I am not aware about the cause of her death at this time.

recovery from ankle sprain
Last week Wednesday (8/12/2020), I suffered an ankle sprain as noted in my previous blog post that was published the following day
On the first 3 days (August 12-14), I didn't even leave my apartment building.
On Saturday, August 15, I only left because I had a previously scheduled dentist appointment, and my parents had an appointment with the same dentist the same day. If that wasn't the case, I would've canceled. My parents had crutches in their car, but I was fine just using my cane.
Sunday, August 16, I just stayed in my building, though I did walk with my cane and my rolling laundry cart to the laundry room. While there, I was talking to a neighbor who was on crutches a few months earlier.
Monday, August 17, was my first walk outside by myself with my cane.
Tuesday/Wednesday (August 18-19), I did a few errands with my cane and while riding the bus.
I could take short walks within my apartment without my cane, but that's just short walks. I still use my cane as support for outside walks for longer distances.
Today, I did take another walk outside with my cane. It went well for the most part, but my ankle needed a rest afterward.
I was actually planning to not need my cane tomorrow, but I think that will wait. My next goal is to not need my cane by Monday.
