Finishing up

It has now been just over two months since I have returned to the US. There were some very thoughtful going away dinners by my Ecuadorian friends and many goodbyes. It was sad to leave my friends but certainly time to come home. After a year, I was more than ready to see the family and friends that I had been homesick for for a year.

I have now been working in an adult physical rehabilitation hospital in Cincinnati for over a month. It is the same one I was working at before I left but a different unit.

Honestly, I am still trying to figure out how the experience this past year has/will affect me. I think it is something that I will carry with me each day. I am certainly glad to have had it, though this past year has been very challenging for me. I met some great people with whom I am still in touch, saw some beautiful areas of different countries, and learned about cultures different than my own.

Thanks to those who were able to follow my story on this blog. If you have questions about anything, please let me know. Questions help me remember and re-discover.
