It´s definitely been a rollercoaster of emotions this week...when at times we were reduced to tears and other times we were laughing so hard our stomachs hurt..
so here´s a snapshot of the lows and highs of the week..
Seeing an 80 year old patient with bed sores so deep you can see her muscle. She was in this state for 4 months, not being able to express her emotions and just taking paracetamol for pain...
Meeting a 60 year old lady who complained of her husband beating her for the past 4 years after his stroke....
To see a sufferer of Wilsons Disease involving his cerebral function and eye sight. Bound to the bed and just listening to the sounds around him.
but the definite highs were ...
enjoying mouth watering pineapple every morning for breakfast..
getting soaked in the tropical storm every afternoon..
laughing so hard at each other´s attempts at learning spanish..
charity work which included a visit to the hairdresser for Juan the pastor.. ?!!?
Hugs and kisses from patients when we leave...because for that one moment ..they may have forgotten all their troubles...
listening to latino music on the bus to work..
the swealtering sun on your back as you walk to work....
so heres to another week in amazing Costa Rica..
as the great philosophers say..
wherever you are now..is where you are meant to be....including paradise..heheheh
p.s off to Puerto Viejo...on the Carribean coast for a long weekend...
pps..staying at Banana Azul....
