My pain block wore off about 8:30 p.m. last night and all of a sudden my foot hurt and I was in pain. I could only lay in bed and thank God that I was able to have this surgery, knowing this pain was only temporary. It would get better.
You see, there is a big white hospital ship docked in Cotonou, Benin, right now - for the first time since we were there in 2009. The ship was suppose to return in 2014, but with the Ebola outbreak, the ship was sent to Madagascar. I can't imagine needing surgery in 2014 and having to wait until 2016. I certainly can't imagine needing surgery in 2010 and having to wait until 2016.
So today I am ever so thankful for the health care I have here and for all those wonderfully amazing people on board the good ship Mercy who are bringing much needed health care to Benin. To God be the glory!
