Tuesday March 12/ Wednesday March 13/Thursday March 14
    I apologize to anyone who has been disappointed that I haven’t written my blog; I can only say that between being busy and power outages, it has just not been possible. We are having a wonderful trip for many reasons: we are seeing and operating on many interesting patients, and we have a great team. We have done 23 cases in 3 days, which is really quite remarkable since we are in temporary ORs (the main OR suite is being renovate, and will hopefully be ready by the time our September trip comes along) . We have had daily power outages and current fluctuations, such that  being told a case is delayed because the elevator isn’t working to bring patients up to the 4th floor. There are the usual shortages of supplies and drugs, but nonetheless the entire OT staff works together with our team to take care of our patients. Its a beautiful thing to see.
