Ready to go

We organized at the hospital and are as prepared as we can be.
Today I have 6 tonsils, a large black forehead hairy nevus to partially remove, a nasal mass and a cleft in a child 1 1/2. I'll see if I can get pictures on.
The "uprising" was a local political party (?) who shut down the ferry about 1 1/2 hrs toward Managua from here. The truck with our totes couldn't cross so guys in dugout canoes (who belong to the ferry blockers) can then carry your stuff across in many trips and make some money. We sent a truck from our side with John and Karl so they brought it back. The totes got here a few hours late, but that's all. They are protesting the government.
We all smell strangely of bug spray. The heat hasn't been as bad as I remember, but they OR air conditioner wasn't working yesterday. John and Karl are on that detail and putting a window in the OR door, and on the hunt for a toilet seat for the OR bathroom. :) Can't wait! NN
