One hundred days! We feel we should celebrate or something.
We celebrated with an early alarm call and drive to work.
It was a day of interesting patients at the clinic. Armorel started by seeing a two week old baby with severe pneumonia who they admitted to the ward. Then followed a man with a GI bleed and then a lady arrived with a ruptured placenta. She was 7 months pregnant and had lost her baby. Armorel and another doctor had to rush her to the large hospital. She is in a very bad way and needs our prayers.
Armorel also visited her palliative care patient Charlesiku, who she has been caring for since we arrived. Her health has deteriorated over the last week and she is now suffering greatly. We received a phone call when we arrived home tonight to say that Charlesiku had died.
Tonight we went out for dinner with a group of ex-pats at the Tabora. It was cold. We have noticed a change in the weather recently, with increased winds and a drop in humidity. Armorel arrived home and had a hot chocolate. It is still mid twenties!
Tomorrow we have no plans. No work, no jobs to do, no nothing.
Lovely!
