Quickly- so tired!! Worker SO hard all day!
But - showed up to the clinic today to a crowd outside the door. Word got out that we were in town! Plaster was flying everywhere! I took several more molds - Georgina - a 32 year old transtibial amputee, Margaret - youngish woman transibial, and Sarah - 30 year old transfemoral. I'm working with an orthotist named Wellbeck - me taking some molds, him taking some, "teaching" him the ropes. Not sure if he wants tolearn from me, but I guess you have to start somewhere! Sarah is going to be a challenge. transfemoral in 2 days!! craziness.
Sleep is necessary now.another day at it tomorrow.
forgot onething - we met the vice president of Ghana today! pretty cool.

Wow Leigh! Sounds like you're doing great work - keep it up! And have a Happy Ghana Birthday!
45 patients on the first day! Wow! Sounds like you are jumping right in and having fun with it. I've heard there are lots of businesses with Christian sounding names there - have you seen anything like "Jesus Loves You Hair Salon" yet?
Have a wonderful birthday! God Bless America (and Ghana)!
