Day 15: A jog and a scared patient

Ran for the first time today. New volunteer likes to run too so we could go together. There is supposedly a 1mi lap around the compound but we couldn’t find it so we just did laps inside the compound, about 0.3mi each... Tired from saying hello to the guards in Swahili every frikkin lap and the Merrills are..ahem... not running shoes. I’m going to have glutes of steel from this.

Was supposed to observe an incarcerated hernia surgery today but no dice. The woman did not show up, was too scared. The clinic does not collect patients’ phone numbers or addresses so we couldn’t call and see what was going on. One of the things I think will change by the end of this summer...
