Am considering future inquiries for teaching again when here for a longer stay, but for the time being, my days have generally been occupied with the household chores of marketing, preparing meals, etc. Our house guest returned to the US, so other than some entertaining of friends, I'll basically be cooking for two for a while.
A welcome variation to my usual routine is to sometimes accompany Jim to the hospital either to attend a lecture or to help him with some clerical tasks. With the recent building renovation, he now has his own small office space complete with desk, computer and A/C. This little oasis provides me with a pleasant place to hopefully assist him in some way or to simply do my own reading or writing.
Jim's "To Do" list is a mile long and constantly growing with the care of his patients taking top priority. Between making rounds, seeing consults, trying to accomplish the necessary preparations for the Operating Room, performing surgeries, overseeing the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic, lecturing medical students, being available for emergencies, arranging a weekly medical meeting and dealing with daily staff frustrations/problems, his day is more than full.
On the way home, we struggle with the Ghanaian system of banking at the SG-SSB, then manage to stop at the market to pick up some eggs, vegetables, pineapple, and Pau Pau.
