Today was an interesting and good day at the hospital. In the morning, I watched the surgical removal of a very large mass from a woman's abdomen. It was huge-about the size of a soccer ball. Afterwards, I went on rounds with Oppong and took patients with him in the afternoon. I am now the pro at travelling through Ghana, so I was responsible for ensuring that Megan, the newest intern, made it safely to the camp with me.
I am in the final countdown of my time here in Ghana. This is also the time when I realize how much I am missing at home. Tomorrow is my little brother's graduation and so I am missing that important event and the ability to spend time with my extended family. (Congratulations Patrick!) Also, I am going to miss my mom's birthday in the upcoming week. (Happy Birthday Mom!) I have enjoyed the past three weeks here. I have learned a lot and I have stepped far outside of my comfort zone. 9 more days-got to make them count.
