Her days were filled with meetings and hard work at Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific on Oahu, where Zelda Kelson continued a fight against a relentless foe that’s not as tough as she is.
Diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2014, Kelson stuffed it into a dormant box a year ago, but the disease returned, targeted her spine and left her paralyzed from the chest down.
She and her husband Kendall Kelson went to the rehab hospital on March 2 and learned how to manage life in a wheelchair.
They flew home on Friday, just in time for the men’s and women’s AA championships at the 60th annual Haili Volleyball Tournament on Saturday at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium.
