--------------------
The last surgery was Nov 20th. The last few patients were either discharged home or sent to the local clinic for follow-up wound care. One was admitted to the local hospital because she will need additional surgery.
So, can you guess what us lucky nurses have been up to this last week and this next week?? :)
Double bleaching EVERYTHING!! Down to every packaged supply in the cupboards. And packing up/tying down everything for the sail, thanks to Red, our tie down guru :) I keep telling myself, "All for Jesus" and reminding myself that "whatever I do, I do unto the Lord." I think I even reminded the nurses that God is just as much glorified in the down and dirty cleaning as He is in the love and care we gave our patients.

Dinner at the Presidential Palace (see prior post)
--------------------
Tim has enjoyed playing frisbee on Fridays
--------------------
Having fun, just being plain silly :)
This little guy had a beakectomy :)
He's even getting consulted by all our specialists :)
Oh no, the ladies are showing their knees!! :)
Doing our best African dance moves--you can't tell in the photo, but I'm doing the shoulder action :)
--------------------
Saying farewell to all our lovely and dear day volunteers. We had some incredible worship before they left!
(i blinked on the flash)
--------------------
Even though it was a normal work day, we still enjoyed a delicious traditional Thanksgiving meal made by our amazing galley staff. We ate turkey, green bean casserole (though the beans were yellow), cranberry sauce (made from dried craisins), mashed potatoes, and stuffing. Here, you modify to the ingredients at hand :)
--------------------
While those back in the States took part in Black Friday, we literally had our own Black Saturday (black-out). At 7 am the generators shut-down for rest and repair for 10 hours. This means no electricity, lights, flushed toilets, power, internet, or air-conditioning. This in turn equals a mass exodus. We spent the afternoon at a nearby hotel, lounging by/swimming in the pool. We finished the day with dining out at a restaurant off the water.
We sail in just 9 days!! We're just a tad bit excited! :) Our vacation is just around the corner!!

It's so strange to be here and not on the ship to double-bleach and tie down! I've been up to my eyeballs in other "fun" things though... I have been packing for the last couple of days as the moving truck comes tomorrow morning. I keep reminding myself that all of this is necessary to follow where God is leading me... I am so excited that it's back to the ship in January!
Keep up the good work... and enjoy your vacation when it finally comes!
