Hard to figure out my age this week.....I DO believe I am 63 yrs old, HOWEVER-----At a morning report conference an intern presented a patient as 'elderly' who was 44 yrs old (!!! I MIGHT accept 'appears older than stated age', but 'elderly' ----they clearly do NOT know my mother who is still NOT elderly!) and then the 4th b'day party ------It doesn't matter----I am 63 yrs old and feel invigorated by the energy, stamina and faith of the Kenyan people ---it is contagious (but hopefully NOT their diseases!!!--especially the pregnant "conditions"---I gladly leave that to Natalia and Brad!)
We're packing up to leave---almost assuredly to return next September!
