Ijo Ope mi re!

Continuing to look for things to be grateful for before I turn into a grouch!

Life, life, life- I cant overemphasize my gratitude for this priceless gift. Being extremely conscious of the possibility of death gives you an acute appreciation for how much life should never be take for granted.

The  end of a thing- The bible says the end is better than the beginning. I am counting in minutes:) to the end of my present project and the smile on my face is an expression of how grateful I am though my colleagues I am leaving behind are not amused at how happy I am:) What can I say? I am extremely grateful!

Great Friends- Over the last few days, I have received emails from friends whose emails make me smile, its nice to know you are remembered especially on those days when you wonder if your friends still remember you! I am grateful for friends who remember!

Meat and chicken- I am grateful for these two pieces on the menu that definitely liven up our diet!

Sleep- I am extremely grateful that I slept through the night without getting called out or having to leave my bed. Its a lovely thing to have a full nights rest.

Family- I'll be talking to my immediate family today via skype and I am grateful for their love and support and extremely proud of their accomplishments.

God- If not for the Lord who was by my side, where would I be?

Growth- Im thankful for the knowledge that I do not have to respond to every insult or pursue every perceived slight or untruth. I am thankful that even if my blood boils hotter than vesuvius, I still remember that a soft word turns away wrath!

Good Health- Its malaria season where I am with the mosquitoe bites sharper than swords but I am thankful that I have not been infected and I am  strong and healthy.

Lovely devotionals- I am thankful for my daily devotionals that encourage me to live for Christ even when I feel most inclined not to!

Death III

Image
In recounting my near misses, I can't but think of how many other misses I am unaware of. As a child, I was the only one who was hospitalized a few times compared to my siblings and cousins. I cannot remember if I ever felt sick enough to be at deaths door, but I do know I disliked getting injections. During one of my trips to the hospital I was to receive a Novalgin injection, for those of you old enough to remember Novalgin, it was the most painful torturous injection ever. I screamed hell and blue murder as the nurse approached with a Novalgin shot. 'I don't take injections', I lamented in my most piteous voice, you would think anyone with a heart would see the tears and back down but those nurses were a special breed. After a few minutes of my temporary madness, my father was summoned, it took just one look from him and I accepted the drilling of the syringe through my marrow (that was what it felt like) without as much as a squeak. The feeling Novalgin gave your bu...

Death 5

Image
Over the past few years, I have observed with much more attention, the passage of generations. I listened to the retirement speech of an old teacher of mine in medical school. She spoke about wondering why a classmate of hers in high school was bereft because her father had died in his 50s. Her own parents were in their 30s and according to her, she thought 50 was ancient. She tactlessly commented about her friends grief wondering why she was so distraught. She made us all laugh when she mentioned that now at the age of 70, she does not count herself as one of the ancients. My job brings me face to face with death on a daily basis and this has spurred me to put my house in order. I have had documents prepared for the disposal of my earthly benefits and I have appointed financial and health power of attorneys. I mention, like I mentioned in my last post to prevent the DMs that never fail to follow these posts, that I am not actively dying but I think preparing for death is as important ...

My Mother Tongue!

I grew up speaking English as my first language and I can tell you that is one fact I am not proud about. I remember once when we were much younger shouting out the only Yoruba words we knew as children 'olosi', 'oloriburuku' etc. My grandmother came out of the house hurriedly to put a stop to our foolishness, what on earth did we think we were doing? she asked, our reply still puts a smile on my face 'we are speaking Yoruba' we replied. My lack of proficiency in speaking Yoruba ( I can write it:) is revealed anytime I speak to my patients. When our conversation is not just me answering in monosyllables, I begin to speak rapidly in my mother tongue but by the end of my first two sentences, I hear myself stuttering and stammering and Im wondering if the patients don't think this doctor is having a sudden attack of catatonia! My Yoruba teacher in Secondary school summed up my Yoruba speaking prowess to my parents during an open day 'She is a good student b...
