Eye team, ZCC students, new doctor and new surgeon--life is good!

-

On the 6th and 7th of May we had 2 eye nurses from Norton Eye Hospital  who came to assess cataract patients.  They had many people to see and they have chosen so many people to come back on the 25th of May to do the eye operations for 3 days.


On the 8th of May our second group of Zimbabwe Christian College students came for their hospital visiting training.  They spent until Monday with us and went out to preach on Sunday.  They always say they enjoy this practical experience for future hospitals visits with people for their congregations.  They graduate on June 6th so they are all excited about finishing their program.


On May 11th we were so happy to have Dr. Ngwaru Munodawafa join us as our send doctor.  He has just finished his residency program and we have been working since September 2014 with only 1 doctor.  Dr. Isala and I were both excited to have him here as it has been so busy keeping up with all the work we have so adding this doctor will help us a lot.  On the 15th of May Dr. Isala left on a month's vacation so it will still be busy for awhile.


On Friday this week Mr. Chihaka, a surgeon from Harare came to do operations for our patients.  Dr. Kajese, our doctor who is in an anesthesia residency, came to do the anesthesia.  They arrived at 10 p.m. Friday night, ate dinner and by 6 a.m. they started the list for surgery.  They ended up doing 10 cases and then we ran out of oxygen for the anesthesia machine--so we had to cancel some.  They promised to come back and June to do the cases they couldn't do today.  Mr. Chihaka came because Mr. Kundiona that was coming before has left for a heart Head and Neck surgery fellowship in South Africa, so he recruited his friend to help us.  We are so thankful for their services and help to our patients who can't afford to go to Harare and have these surgeries.  It is such a benefit for us.  And we are so thankful to them.

    Eyes are most important part of our bodies without eyes we cannot perform any activity. Our age change, our eyes change as well. Much of the time, ordinary eyeglasses or contact focal points can address huge numbers of these vision changes.

Covid Lockdown--Zimbabwe style, Two new vehicles and Happy Birthday Major

Not much to write about during these days of stay at home.   No traveling, no direct patient care, and best of all no suspected cases of Cornavirus here! I usually come to the hospital Monday-Friday 0700-1200  to do office work and Internet and go home after tea. Like many of you I have been spending a lot of time sorting, cleaning closets and drawers and getting rid of things I do not use!   Major loves to hoard so I dump it all on him!   I have almost finished all my closets and drawers and feel better about no clutter!  Major says if this stay at home order lasts for too long I might not have anything left in my house! We continue to see patients at the hospital.   We let 3 in at a time through our fence and we have our OPD outside with our staff in PPE. There are now officially 46 cases positive cases in Zimbabwe, 4 deaths, 18 recovered and 24 active cases out of 28,019 tested. (www.worldometers.info) There have been 5 cases and 1 death in our Province and none

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2020

  For my birthday, this year I went with Major and Patience back to Rhino Camp for 3 nights of enjoying animals.   Major and Patience tried to fish but did not get much luck after promising bream to eat for my birthday.  Major caught a large Vundu but it is on the endangered list so he had to throw it back!  He was so disappointed. We enjoyed our time away and it was relaxing and incredibly beautiful.   They cooked me fish for one  dinner since Major did not catch one and a birthday cake!   Nice way to celebrate #66! We came back on Monday evening and by Thursday we were on our way to Harare as my stomach pain was getting no better.   I was referred to a new GI doctor who felt I was probably resistant to the antibiotics for H. Pyloria I was taking.   He changed drugs and I will take them for 2 weeks and see him after 4 weeks.   If I get worse, I may need another endoscopy to see if my ulcer is better and more biopsies.   So far not much change in 10 days.   We are praying for the b

ENJOYING HONDE VALLEY

On the 25th of August I went back to see the surgeon about my ulcers.  After 9 weeks of treatment for ulcers I wasn't getting any better and was tired of being sick!  He did a colonoscopy and another gastroscopy.  More biopsies taken and no malignancies but this time it showed massive amounts of h. Pyloria, and infection in my stomach common in developing countries, and causes ulcers, so I was on the wrong treatment for 9 weeks. I started on a 14 day treatment program of antibiotics on the 28th of August and it seems a bit better.  Hopefully this will put an end to the ulcers and erosion in my stomach.  I have good and bad days but am praying this will end it! On the 2nd of September, Patience and Major and I took off for a short vacation to celebrate their 28th wedding anniversary. We spent the night of the 2nd in Harare and were able to have dinner with Dr. Shield and Mrs. No Kajese and their daughters Zoey and Alexis.  We had a great visit and kept our social distancing!  We bro
