I finished my 2nd week at the hospital! These 2
weeks sure have gone by fast. I’ve really enjoyed seeing all of the patients.
They are all so friendly and thankful! They have brought me lots of bananas!
Good thing I like bananas. I swear I got a new bunch everyday this week.
Today was just a typical day of therapy. The interesting
ward patients were discharged home. It actually is pretty crazy to think a man
who cannot walk was just sent home. There are no social workers or nurse case
managers here to ensure you have all the necessary equipment for discharge. The
man will be bed bound until the wheelchair and brace specialists come to Kpando
in February.
I will have 4 days off for the Christmas holiday and then I
will be leaving Kpando and travelling Ghana with Step Far Organization until
about January 20th. Then I will return to Kpando and spend 2 more
months at the hospital.
I am excited to spend Christmas here and experience another
culture’s celebration. They do not have Christmas trees and they don’t really
exchange gifts with one another, so it’s going to be interesting!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas back in the US!! I
will be thinking about all of you! I still plan on posting this weekend so
check my blog!
Love, Kari
