Update

Hey Everyone,

Here's a quick update on things down here in Pretoria. My recovery is going really well, and i'm about 3 weeks ahead of schedule on the rehab. I go in twice a week, and then I have exercises to do on my own every day, and while I have a long ways to go, it's coming along much better than expected. Being down here in Pretoria is completely different than Kenya. Pretoria is like any US/European city, so it certainly has it's perks. Despite all the delicious food and whatnot, i'm ready to get back up to Kenya and to my site. I've been cleared to head back up there on January 2, so between now and then I just need to keep knocking out my rehab so that I can get back to my site sooner rather than later once I get back in-country.

While knowing I have a date to head back to Kenya is exciting, what's much more exciting is that Amie will be getting down here in a couple of weeks. She gets here on the 21st, and we're heading up to Kruger National Park from Dec. 24-26. That's the big trip we're taking, but outside of that we'll go to the Apartheid Museum, and i'll take her to a lion park just outside Pretoria. I went there last weekend, and you get to play with lion cubs, which is amazing. They are like big puppies.

Anyways, that's really all that's going on down here. I'm just rehabbing and hanging out with other medevacs, which has been really cool, and then i'm just waiting on Amie to get here. I'll update again in a bit, probably with stories of the safari. Take it easy.
