So the week started off with me getting surgery on my toe haha that sucked a fat bit so we walked into this super sketch hospital and got an appointment with the foot doctor he came in and looked at it and said yep we are gonna have to cut it off haha i freaked out but he was just kidding and said we will have to cut out a part so he said come back tomorrow and we can get it done.
so the next day we are getting ready to go when we find out the hospital doesnt take the churches insurance so we spent the rest of the morning scrambling to find enough money to pay for it and i had to end up exhcanging american dollars for pesos so that was a little sketchy but we finally made it to the hospital and the doctor was an hour late just cause thats how time works here in argentina. so by now im getting pretty nervous and my stomach is sloshing a good bit. but he brought us in and sat me down on the bench and just said we are just gonna do it in here so its a little bit less work haha so now im even more worried that this doctor in jeans is about to cut my toe off in a check up room but hey lets go. so he first started by inserting the anestisia by poking the bed of my nail and pushing forward this shot hurt more than any other shot ive ever gotten and to make it worse he wasnt paying attention and the needle popped out so he had to start over haha the adventures of argentina. so at this point im quite confident i will throw up at some point.
next i watch him grab and exacto knife and scissors and just start chopping away at my toe thank goodness i couldnt feel anything and within 15 minutes he was done. then proceeded and asked if i wanted to touch the chunk of flesh and nail he just cut off and thats when i pretty much just fell and layed on the table feeling super sick while he bandaged it all up. then we walked home and now ive just been chilling in our apartment the past week. he also only sent us home with 2 ibeprofen so i had to take a couple pills that i had brought cause the pain wouldnt go away but feeling better now and i just have to stay off of it for like 5 more days and i can start working.
super bad timing cause this is the end of the transfer and so my comp will leave in a week and a get a new one so we couldnt really work his last week so that sucked but all good all good.
so thats pretty much it this week haha hope you enjoyed the story im doing tons better now and cant wait to get working again love you all and miss you tons
love elder singley
