Life

I think I am getting used to the Ugandan way of life. Everything is pretty slow here. Work is very busy up until about 2pm. I am pretty sure I diagnosed a baby with Meningitis the other day.
I have a hard time understanding their English. The other day I was with Charles -who is equivalent to a PA I think, would say "jenta usa". I looked at him with a blank face like usual. He finally shouted it very slowly..."genital ulcer". I am sure the other nurses had quite the laugh. I actually make them laugh quite a lot (unintentionally).
It is very very dusty here when it doesn't rain. I blew my nose and cleaned my ears and they were very orange. No wonder there is so much "otitis media" at the clinic.
The other volunteer that is here is great. We laugh a lot. Today she was doing her wash outside while I was reading and she kicked a huge pile of dog poop. We laughed until we cried.
We get called "mazungu" a lot by the little kids. It means "white person." You have to say "bye" to them otherwise they won't stop. Most little kids at the clinic are scared of me because I am white.
We went to Kampala today which is the big city about 20-30 minutes away. We shopped a bit and then had a cheese burger for lunch. It was awesome.
We eat a lot of starchy foods here. The fruit is to die for.
I had a patient the other day named Beverly Hills, no joke.
Sorry for the poor grammar, spelling and random thoughts. The power goes out often so I have to type fast.
Hope all is well! Thanks for reading!!!!
