Giza means darkness in Kiswahili. If you say giza, everyone generally understands that you mean that there is darkness because the sun has set or because there is no electricity and therefore no light! The latter has been the case here in Lindi the past couple of days! From morning until evening, we've had no electricity. When there's no electricity I still see alot of patients in clinic but the patient's can't get any labs drawn and can't get any imaging. If you saw the scene at the hospital today, you would have seen a ton of frustrated, tired patients waiting around for the electricity to return. Fortunately we don't loose electricity that often so on days when we do have electricity, I end up scanning a ton of patients in ultrasound.
This evening I got lucky, the power returned just before sunset. I wasn't so lucky last night. The power didn't return until around nine at night.
I took the picture above last night. I am a fan of candle light dinners; but not when I'm eating alone! Especially when I'm eating alone at home in the dark by the light of a couple of candles! Fortunately that doesn't happen too often, but when it does, its depressing!
Tomorrow is an operating day. There are a couple of laparotomies for adnexal masses and one excisional biopsy for a breast mass. I also promised the students at the COTC that I would teach tomorrow. I postponed my lecture today because there was no electricity. There is chalk and a chalkboard but I've been preferring to give power point lectures. And I can't use the projector when we don't have power.
I finally booked a flight back to the US. February 12th I'm flying KLM. Connecting through Amsterdam and then flying into Washington DC. I'll be in the States for 3 weeks! Definitely looking forward to the time home. I want to visit everyone! But its also easier if everyone comes to DC to visit! You are welcome to stay with my parents,:) sorry I don't have any permanent residence in the States these days to invite you to visit me.
