The doctors are happy with Shida’s first cataract removal operation and more importantly Shida is very happy herself.

She is already reporting improved vision. A decision will be made tomorrow whether to operate on her other eye or give her more time to recuperate. Either way Shida feels that she is in safe hands and has been joking with Rev Deuli and Matron.

Mount Kilimanjaro has been shrouded in clouds but Shida is hoping that she will be able to see it. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Matron is complaining that it is much colder in Moshi. Night time temperatures have been between 19 and 21 degrees and daytime up to 27.  Mayega is much warmer.
