Unexpected Goodbyes

Hey all, I have an unfortunate announcement: Peacecorps has decided to medically separate me and send me back to the states. I have not full recovered from whatever is plaguing my kidneys. I've been to the doctor numerous times and had several tests but they have not been able to properly diagnose me. Therefore, PC has decided to send me back the states so I can get better treatment. This means that as of Wednesday, when I'll be on a plane heading back, I will no longer be a PC volunteer. Also unfortunate is the fact that, since I'm being sent back for medical reasons, this means my service is over. If I want to return to Uganda as a PCV after I've regained my health, I need to do the entire process over again. So, I've been in Uganda for 13 months and been a volunteer for 10. It's not the way I wanted to end my service, but there's nothing I can do. The decision has been made. I'm a little disappointed at the moment, so I'll post again when I'm in a better mood. I do want to tell you all how I've felt about my service. So, thanks for following and I'll be in the same country with you soon. TTFN-
