Today was my last Monday in the clinic. Mondays are very busy, so I was happy to survive the day. I sat in the consulting room and received patients with Oppong. We saw 72 patients by the time I decided to leave at 2:30. For some odd reason, the kids were loving me today. I did not make any children cry and I made tons of friends. I should have known that today would be a good day when I met a little girl on my walk to work. Her name was Mary and she asked if I could walk with her for the rest of the week. After work, I caught the end of a malaria presentation at a local school. Jen and Grace have been working on public health in Kasoa and so they have been giving presentations at the local schools.
Last night, Angie prepared "red-red," my favorite meal. I ate all of it, which is a rare occasion. Afterwards, Eric played on the keyboard. He sang the Amanda song, which asked me if I was tired and sleepy. Just like at home, I am known for being sleepy and sleeping a lot. It is a weird thought knowing that I will be back home in a week and starting work at 8am next Monday. Hopefully the work week flies by at just the right pace, fast enough that I do not become too anxious to get home and slow enough that I can savor my last week in Ghana.
