Tuesday

I gather a more cheerful post is required today ! Our presentation was well received and 1 doctor asked me to e mail her the slides and another asked to come to our afternoon session.
Hermon the german ( he's not german , congolese ) who is the deputy director of the hospital is rather shy and I think is probably hypothyroid , either that or he goes to bed far too late as he as a tendency to nod off- anywhere, so this afternoon I sorted  him , I gave him the pen to write things up on the flip chart , it was painfully slow but he didn't nod off once !! I think the box of miniature heros Ruth took helped, we have been sneaking one out at night and re sealing the box so no one would notice but thought we should take them today as the box was getting  suspiciously low, we still have my box for the last session!
Just flipped onto generator again !
Anyway, todays pictures are on the theme of  resourcefullness, 2 successes , wheelchair  from garden chair and man with oes cancer who has tied  his gastric feeding tube up with  shoe laces, the third is my shower apparently one has to stand in the washing up bowel which then wanders off round the shower tray at will and as the water spray is very small ones body often misses the water completely - polite helpful  suggestions only please
Last night Joseph the social worker joined us for supper and he is very useful for a potted history of Africa, unbiased of course. He was born in Congo , came to Rwanda to work for save the children  after the genocide
Off on a long drive tomorrow to visit a health centre and home visit so early start!
