The End of A Thing

Solomon said the end of thing is more blessed than the beginning but as I realized this morning this will be my last post for a few days (until I get to the airport’s internet) I have very mixed feelings.  So much to think about and consider. Today is (already) my last day in clinic; my last day to struggle through an interpreter; at least for now…who knows what the future holds. But onto funner things.

Yesterday I got to watch a surgery to remove a tumor.  An 18.118 kg tumor (which is about 40 lbs); it was so large one of the doctors would hold it and the other doctor would cut on it and then they would roll it the other was and cut on the other side.  You could tell it was an exciting surgery because every doctor on the compound was in there and the staff were all crowded in the hallway to see the tumor afterward.  It didn’t appear obviously like cancer so we are hoping it is benign and that the patient can recover and live a long wonderful life.  They were working on getting her some information in her own language so hopefully that came to fruition.  Can’t wait to show you pictures.

Last night we had a movie night with all the kids and watched Beauty and the Beast (except the guys who went elsewhere and played games…for obvious reasons) which was a very theatrical remake but enjoyable.  Well, I have to go…or I will be late on my last day!
