Friday - Last night in Kenya

Friday was more or less a day of bonding for us. While leaving the hospital and Kenya will be hard, leaving these wonderful people will be the hardest. For the last month we eat, work, and sleep right next to the same group of people, and it will be hard to go back to the busy life we all have back home. We will certainly do our best to keep in touch with each other. So Friday we spent much of the morning and early afternoon hanging out by the pool and reminiscing about all the things we have done and seen together while we have been here. I wanted to get a head start on packing since I knew I would be mad at myself if I left it all to do Saturday morning. It took me a while, but I got most of it back in the suitcases and they zipped! We made dinner plans at one of the best seafood restaurants in Mombasa. The food was absolutely amazing! Once again, we spent most of the meal talking about how hard it is to believe that our time here is done.

            After dinner a group of us took off for the hospital, for one last go around. Luckily it was a slow evening in casualty. We spent most of the time taking vitals of patients waiting to see the doctor. We went up to Main Theatre to see if there was anything going on, but we had just missed the surgery and they were just closing up. Before we left we gave all of our scrubs to the nurses there and they were very grateful for them. It was a little after midnight when we made it back to the compound. We discussed plans for Saturday, and headed to bed. It would be my last nights sleep in Kenya.
