Just a few pictures and a (sad) lizard update
I have some bad news about Sali, the lizard (the winning entry coming from Lars). He made the wrong choice when he ventured out of my room and in to my housemate Karen's. It wasn't intentional, more of a case of manslaughter, but when she found him resting on top of her suitcase, she whacked him with a pair of slacks. Sadly, he didn't survive. I really did feel bad. I had kind of grown fond of him.

Me and Saliou. Some very good news today: the hospital is soon to receive a large carton of donated supplies and will be replacing some worn equipment, making it possible to arrange for Saliou to be able to use one of the old hospital beds when he goes home. It will make a huge difference from his prior situation of a thin foam mattress on the floor, both in cleanliness and in his caregivers being able to turn him and change his dressings easier. I told him today that there were many people on the other side of the world who have heard of him and his situation and were wishing him well.

The patients are so fortunate to have you Kris! And I'm sure you feel exhilarated by the opportunity to help them. Thanks for the updates! I'm sure that Bandit and Taz will be mourning the demise of Sali (if I even have the heart to tell them);/
ReplyDeleteAt least Sali went quickly instead of a long, slow, painful, inevitable death-exactly the thing we would wish for our patients and that you help us do so well. So, your palliative care experiences now extend to the animal world!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe those are pictures of hospitals. How wonderful of them to do the best with what they have. Again, re-entry might be difficult.
Stay safe and have fun
