Haiti Part Two

So I got permission this Monday after calling my boss twice, once in the morning and finally again early afternoon. Such frustration, but in the end I am going so who cares, right? Called Tom right away. Tom is the business manager for the orthopedic surgeons. Doesn’t know a whole lot about nurses I guess but man, does he know how to organize stuff!!

Today I went back to work to find a bunch of emails.. Leaving Tuesday at first, but now maybe Monday. Which gives some practical problems, like my house is a mess, I am working my three weekend shifts…and if the days are all going to be like today….not good.

But oh well, what do I really need? I finally have a use for my old crappy scrubs that are just taking up closet space (better try them on to see if they fit) have plenty of old tank tops and t-shirts, shorts and other clothes. Someone at work told me to get men’s boxers, apparently they are very comfortable (although I wonder about the hole in the front..)  But what would be my size???  I have plenty of sunscreen lotion, Kathie is making me homemade granola because I really can not stand those protein/power bars….. I have a bunch of antibiotics already filled, sunglasses, a hat so I think I’ll be okay. And I can do anything for a week!

We are going to a hospital in Les Cayes, on the west coast and outside of the quake zone. Still very very busy, with lots of patients to see.

But for all of you that have expressed their worries, not close to Port au Prince and very safe!!!
