AFrica is Almost Here



Today I got a few of my shots for Africa. I was sitting in the Lobby of Kaiser waiting to talk to the travel nurse and I was in shock that I was preparing to go to Africa. I mean it didn't even feel like it is happening until today. Today was the real shocker, well, eye opener. After hearing about all the negative things that the shots and medications, that I need to take, will do to my body or can potentially do, I was finding myself still at peace. Surprising, especially when 3% of those who take Malaria meds have crazy dreams, or that the shots that i am getting are potentially going to make me sick, and make me feel like a semi-truck has hit me. Even though this may seem like i am complaining, I am not. I am documenting my thoughts of the day. Above is the list of the shots that i have to get or have already gotten in this case. Yellow Fever is on Monday! June 1st, 2009. I look forward to what God has in store for me and my trip. I cant wait to see what will happen, where i will be challenged and who I will encounter with. Until the next step is taken....
