I'm sorry it's been a long time since I have posted anything. But I am home now safe and sound. I was officially medically separated on Feb. 2, 2009. I was in Washington, DC for 45 days for a medical evaluation. I may possibly have rheumatic fever which eventually turns into rheumatic heart disease. I am feeling fine now and I am happy to be home with my family. I am not able to return to Fiji to finish my service. Peace Corps thought that it was too high of a rick for me to return due to my susceptibility to get strep throat especially with my living conditions in Fiji and my job. I am always around sick people being a Health Promotion volunteer and I am in and out of the Sub-division hospital in Tavua at least 3 or 4 times a month. The chances of me getting worse while being in Fiji are twice as likely to happen due to my immune system and how often I was sick over there.
I am currently applying for Americorps to use what I have learned from the Peace Corps and help people locally. I am very excited about this adventure I hope to finish this time. I have finally posted up the last of my pictures from Fiji. They are from Chris's visit to saying goodbye. I really hope you have enjoyed reading my blog and my experience in Fiji. I truly miss everyone I have encountered in Fiji and hope one day to return to Waikubukubu and be able to switch on a light bulb! Thank you for all your support.
