It's been a while since I've blogged. A lot has happened here in Jhagadia. The end of last week was filled with meetings and presentation. I presented on ways to improve patient care here in the villages as well as the hospital. The ideas were well received by the medical staff, and now, I have to just start working on all this and hopefully incorporate it soon. Last Friday I left to go back to Ahmedabad for the weekend. I took a bus and train and my family met me at the station. It was so nice to see them. Before we went home we grabbed pizza. You have no idea how much I missed cheese. I think it's an essential part of my life. My dad is also visiting India, so it was a nice treat to see him and spend some quality time with him. Saturday my cousin, dad and I went shopping. I usually don't like shopping but for Indian clothes I can shop all day. The whole weekened we ate, chatted and shopped. It was also nice to see my grandparents.
I got back to Jhagadia today. It seems a world away from Ahmedabad. There are no stores here, no restaurants. People sell their produce on the streets. There is one cyber cafe (which is super hard to find). There are no postcards from Jhagadia. People usually don't say "Hey guess what I'm going to Jhagadia this weekend". Aside from all that, the work that is done here for the people on a daily basis, 24 hrs a day, 7 days is unlike anything I've seen. I'm pretty beat today, haven't slept. Hope all is well. Folks must be getting ready for Thanksgiving!
By the way, my dad and I listened to the 4th qtr of the Skins/Cowgirls game... no good. I tell you if I was in Denver watching the game, I'm sure they would have won. Skins are 3-0 when I'm in Denver watching the game.
