I've had a pretty busy 3 weeks at work in Forth Park, doing my on-call block of nights, long days and weekends. Finished the last shift this morning feeling exhausted but relieved that I now have a bit of breathing space to carry on getting things sorted out for heading to Freetown in January.
I am relieved that I am getting contacts over in Sierra Leone, who can give me good advice on what to expect and what to bring.
I am also really touched by the support from a whole range of people back home in lots of different areas, from fundraising to practical help for moving house or getting my equipment sorted.
Forth Park is closing in January and moving to a new site together with the main medical unit in Kirkcaldy. Ironically, the closing day there is probably going to fall on my last week of work before leaving with VSO, so I am definitely wanting to attend the big leaving party and say goodbye to everyone!
