Mercy Ships – A belated update at almost 2 (3?!) months on board…
Happy Christmas! Joyeux Noel! God Jul! All from the Africa
Mercy Midships.

On this, the second day of Christmas, I am finally writing another
blog update! I have been thinking about writing for a while, but it has been
pretty busy here, so now is the time. The Operating Room is closed – except for
emergency cases – for two weeks over Christmas and New Years, so we are
enjoying the break. It is quite the experience to have two weeks off! It almost
feels like I’m back in school… also in that school mindset, I’m on my second
latte as I’m procrastinating writing to you this afternoon…
As I am so good at being busy and procrastination, there is
almost too much to write in one post, so I’ll do a little story telling via pictures.
Most are not my own (I always forget to bring my phone/take pictures…), but are
graciously made available on our shared drive – just so you know (and I'll try & give credit where due!).
Work Life:
 |
| A Canadian, an American & a Kiwi walked into an OR... and had a great week! |
 |
| My little "office" in OR 2 - pictures of my Pinkie, Reeree and Co. to keep me going through the weeks. |

| Leg Day on Deck 7! It's pretty much the cutest thing to get stopped on my way to the OR by the tiny walker traffic jam! Alas, no photos of this, so enjoy those pink casts. * MercyShips Guinea 2018 archive |
 |
| More working out - with lots of encouragement! Ortho is not my specialty here, but look at those faces & legs - a pretty dramatic change even in the in-between stage. * MercyShips Guinea 2018 archive |

| Let's see - a couple of Aussies, Americans, Guineans, a North Irish, a South Korean, a Dutchy and a Kiwi just finished a great week. I.e., my fantastic OR 2 team. *photo courtesy of Dr. Michael |
