A few more days...

I've been ridiculously busy lately but now it seems like all is falling into place. Pretty much all that needs to be done have been done. Yesterday I had a wonderful moving out party where we executed a flawless (nurses only) move, and we used only 1h 10min to empty the apartment and fill up 2 storage units. Today my sister and I cleaned out the place. I am now on my way to Harstad for my grandfather's funeral. I am glad I got to still be home when he died so I can attend at his funeral. I am otherwise preparing for departure on Saturday and still have a few last minute things to do... when will you ever be prepared for something like this?

2 weeks 'til takeoff!

I am 2 weeks shy of my big African adventure... For one year i will live and work in Blantyre, Malawi. Through the Oslo-Blantyre Neurosurgery Program we will aim to start the first neurosurgical unit in Malawi, train neurosurgeons, clincial officer's anaesthesia, OR nurses and nurses for the ward. This Blog will be a journal of my experiences (the good, the bad and the ugly). Beyond excited and at the same time somewhat terrified of what is to come, I am ready!
