As many of you know by know, I have returned home to the States indefinitely in order to take care of my mom. She spent three weeks in the hospital and a skilled nursing facility and finally went home on Friday. We moved her into a new place as she is not able to live independently in her condo.
Having left so quickly, I didn't get to say goodbye to everyone including most of my patients. Two have died since I returned home. I did get to see Michael off to Ghana as he left the Monday before I left. He has not started his chemo treatment yet (I don't know why they are delaying) but hopefully it will start in early May.
I did get a job the day I returned home...see, all that planning and polling about my future apparently didn't help - God had other plans. I'll be self-employed (yea, a real income) working from home as a software designer for the next 6 months (that's what I did before becoming a nurse). After that, who knows. I'll have to see how my mom is doing - I hope to return to Africa at some point.
I don't plan on blogging anymore since this was about my experiences in Africa. Good-bye!
