another day another shilling
Two more weeks here. The rains have become less and it is hot hot hot! but I like it hot so that works for me. I do not think I will be able to spend time in Kampala (sorry Aunt B) . Today is not too busy. This is typical: a woman came in complaining of pain with her period after many many translated questions and answers ...it turns out she has a broken rib... the health center sent a woman here whose baby had blisters (from sucking) here so we could transport her the hospital !!?? so it is alot of story finding to find out what is realy going on, so that we can; in what ever limited way respond as best we can. A boy delivered water today and refused to be paid the 200 shillings with a 2oo shilling coin since two 100 shilling coins are bigger (physically bigger) so that is the state of education of some of the people here. We have been gifted with a cock (rooster) and he is way loud..so he might make a nice dinner (just to shut him up).
