Not a particularly good day on the Ghanaian home front. Carpenters not showing up for the upteenth time and a flying insect invasion were minor problems compared to the unfortunate result of the electrician's recent "repairs." By his not checking to see that the main power switch was turned off before tackling the tasks at hand, our voltage regulator, water pump, and coveted electric washing machine are now all "spoiled" as the Ghanaians say. Bottom line, they don't work anymore. I like the electrician, Abraham, and one can't help but feel badly for him as well. His usual bright smile is nowhere to be seen today.
On top of the domestic problems, Jim's frustration threshold is further tested by the often preventable inefficiency at the hospital. After surgically repairing a patient's extensive lip laceration (caused by a human bite), the orders he left for the necessary antibiotics to be administered throughout the night were never followed.
Sure hope our traveling visitors are having a better time in Bolga!
