Some Pics from first week from Rochelle

 This is Rochelle,  Decided to add a brief post with some pics, if I can get them loaded!

We had (for us) an uneventful trip here and first day with shopping, etc, for Details (of everything 😏) see Jason's posts, he has taken that assignment seriously!  Not sure I want everyone to see all my secrets, but oh well!  Life is too short to worry about it. 

There were A LOT of cases here waiting for us, both in the gross room and to sign out, including several sarcomas in 1 month old to adults (thanks to the BST folks for consultations), an ependymoma, a meningioma, breast cancer(s), Burkitt's lymphoma (2!), cancers of unknown cell type, cervical carcinoma, LAMN, bone marrow biopsy... etc, etc!  3 days in though we are CAUGHT UP!!!  As Jason pointed out, some of the gross descriptions/sampling left much to be desired and emphasized how important grossing and describing what you've done is!


Garden store on the way to Kijabe where we bought oregano, mint and Rosemary!

View from our living room Window!

The Crew!  Mom keeps saying it's her last year, but then changes her mind :)


Jason's exciting first meal!  Who knows if this was the cause of his dysentery


Jason's getting ready!  There were piles of slides everywhere!

Starting the grossing.  Notice the sunglasses as eye protection from formalin and the sun!  the fan is the replacement for a hood and formalin fumes not so nice, especially when the specimens come in undiluted formalin!  Mom still doing her gross room duties at 83!!
