Southern Californians who were jolted awake by the Jan. 17 quake are well into their reconstruction journey. Collapsed freeways and houses are being fixed. Furniture and other belongings are be ing replaced. Frozen emotions also are beginning to thaw. Without warning, in unguarded moments, tears come, hearts pound and residents realize with resounding dread that this mighty mess isn't over. Not by a long shot. Behind mind-numbing statistics of 61 dead, 9,000 injured and an estimated $20 billion in damage stand the unmeasurable statistics of fear, grief, loss and inconvenience. West Los Angeles psychiatrist Jim Burnett knows firsthand just how traumatic life can be these days. He lost his office to the earthquake and a wrecking ball. The badly damaged Barrington Building housing his 10-year practice was de molished days after the quake and no one was allowed inside to retrieve belongings. In Los Angeles alone, 55,236 structures were damaged by the quake. More than 10,000 of those are unfit for habitation. "If it wasn't in my briefcase, it doesn't ex ist," Burnett said. Gone are all patient records, office furniture and his medical library. "It always keeps me up at night, trying to think of some tiny detail I might have missed about my patients," Burnett said. "Because if I miss something, it could be detrimental to the welfare of my patients." In therapy sessions, Burnett said, many of his patients exhibit signs of post-traumatic stress. "Very often people get extremely func tional, or numb, right after a disaster. And over time, you begin to thaw. Some feelings come through. And everyone's been so damned scared." The Castillo family represents five of the es timated 21,850 people to seek shelter from the American Red Cross. Herbert, his wife and their children have been living at Belmont High School for two weeks. Ten Red Cross shelters are still open this week with 688 residents. The Castillos are crammed together with strangers, some of them street people taking advantage of the Red Cross' open-door policy. "It's like hell," the 29-year-old Castillo said. "They fight all the time. They steal each other's things." The Castillos moved there because their apartment was uninhabitable. "My wife was scared to stay there," Castillo said. "So we come here." Castillo, a house painter, is missing work because his equipment was destroyed. The Red Cross, he said, helped him scrape together enough money to find a new apartment. He hopes to move this week, but plans to return to the shelter to work. "They helped me," he said. "And now I've got to help them." In the Los Angeles Unified School District, 5,311 students at two campuses are still with out classrooms. Those students were given an unexpected vacation. District officials have not yet deter mined whether the spring term will be extend ed to make up for lost time. At El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills, Principal Joyce Washington said voluntary workshops are being held in undamaged class rooms until the campus reopens. "The students are very thankful that we are having this program," Washington said. "Staying at home and watching television all day is a real drag." DR. VICKI E.
