Sucking it up

We just finished with our second medical team of the year. The mission was to Huehuetenango and we saw around 1500 patients over five days. However, we, the team coordinators, don’t know what a day off is and have been pretty tired. I got gravely ill for a few days and came down with strep throat, coughing, pink eye, athlete’s foot and a busted knee. Andrew got fleas. But, all in all it was a phenomenal trip. Journal entries and pictures are soon to follow. As soon as I muster up the energy. I can only imagine how old explorers managed through disease. Shackleton, Cook, Lewis and Clark. They must have been made of steel and cojones.
