Unexpected intrusions of beauty.

This is what life is.

[fay0o1]

The past two weeks have been full of uncertainty and change. To make a long story short, the hospital onboard the AFM closed early, Senegal (like many other countries) closed its borders and airports, I was repatriated by the US Embassy in Dakar and the Mercy Ships Team, and am now living the quarantine life to prevent spreading anything to my family that I could’ve picked up during my travels. Even though I have no idea what the future looks like, I’m thankful to God for His provision of what I needed to get through each day (my daily bread). #mercyships #akronohio #nurselife #winewithdewine #dogwalks #sandrunmetropark https://www.instagram.com/p/B-M9Y-nhLSv56CnrYYl5CZfvT4q1OhLm6BD8us0/?igshid=ya5irxa2mm08

Keeping you in the loop:

Here’s the news. 

Due to lack of patients found for the Women’s Health program, the land based OBF Clinic I have been working at the past month will be closed before Christmas.

The Women’s Health program onboard will take a 2-month break and its Operating Room will be replaced with General surgery.

This means I will return to living on the ship just before Christmas to resume working as a Ward Nurse onboard. Since the OBF clinic is closing, the Team Leader from there will assume the post as Team Leader for Women’s Health.

I am disappointed to see the Clinic closing, I’ve enjoyed working there, and I have witnessed the incredible efforts of the Mercy Ships teams to get it up and running. It is frustrating to see something with good intentions ending, but I know that the need for surgery for other specialties is greater. I am thankful that Mercy Ships has been able to be flexible and create a new plan that will serve the greatest number of Cameroonians.

I really loved working in General Surgery in Benin, so I look forward to working with that type of patient again. Please send up prayers for all involved in this transition. Also, send up some prayers of thanks to those in leadership who have been very kind and diplomatic in the many decisions they’ve had to make the past month.

What's that? Oh, just little bag of my blood having a sit on a chair. She's just waiting for her turn to go to a patient here in Cameroon. #mercyshipscameroon #blooddonor #Oiampositive #nurselife

“I am Pretty... I am loved.” My favorite quote of the show thus far

[maplefiasco]

“Fun fact: The costume department went above and beyond the call of duty in “Legion.” For a superhero show firmly grounded in reality, subtle alterations to classic looks provide an anomalous vibe without feeling cartoonish… the orange uniforms patients sported in the mental hospital actually contained a secret code for the staff to distinguish which inmates were the most dangerous.

A white stripe down the sleeve signified the lowest risk. They were calm, relatively safe individuals — like Syd. Patients with a yellow stripe are somewhere in the middle: a risk, but not a consistent threat. David wore a yellow stripe, but only because the doctors didn’t fully realize his powers (until it was too late). Lenny, however, sported the most dangerous marking: a red stripe. She was just too rambunctious for the staff to ever fully trust. (After David and Syd switch bodies later in the episode, you can hear Lenny trying to calm hospital security who are restraining David by saying, “He’s in the yellow,” meaning, “He’s not violent. Take it easy.”)”

Wow, this is terrific. Side by side with The Force Awakens trailer and The Last Jedi.

[obes-kenobes-blog]

this is bloody brilliant!! question though- I don’t recall seeing Luke standing on the cliff in the original trailer. Has this been manipulated at all? Either way it’s cool

[reylo-junkyard]
