On the way to the hospital I stopped on the way at the convent to use the solar supplied electricity with my voltage converter to use my electric shaver so that I can skip the mess of shaving cream and pichures of hot water slashed on the face to get the shaving cream off. I saw Sr Dr Ernesta in the garden behind the convent where the Nuns grow their own food. We talked about the other clinic where I had brought the Old Ultrasound machine to teach the three Sisters there. We had done 9 OB Ultrasounds yesterday found some twins and a Post due mother with hypertension who had a fetus with a bilateral hydrocele of the scrotum. We sent her to the big medical center in Moshi. As I finished talking to her I looked down and saw that she was barefoot and walking in the rough small volcanic chips of stone that are common here.They have very sharp corners and edges. That sight or vision will always remain with me when I think of these holy Nuns.
