So,
news on the foot. That stupid doctor put another cast on my foot last
week, right? At about 12:30pm. It was very annoying and constructed in a
way that I could not move my pinkie toe. I took it off at 9:00pm
Tuesday. But it´s ok, I took pictures. :)
So
we gave up with the stupid doctor in the stupid hospital and decided we
would go to a better hospital. One that´s farther away, but I had
already been there, so I knew it was good. A member was going to drive
us early this morning, but then she decided it would be a shame to waste
our p-day (too true), so she offered to take us Sunday night to a foot
hospital instead. After Conference we started off. When we were just
about to get there, the car broke down in the middle of the road and
after an hour it was clear that it was not going anywhere by itself. So
we ended up riding back home in a taxi. No hospital.
But
the secretaries made us promise to go to the hospital on Monday. So off
Sister Alldredge and I went to the farther away hospital. On p-day.
Again. We weren´t sure how to get there, so we asked for directions.
When we got there, it looked more like a prison. I didn´t remember that
detail. Then we found out that someone had led us to the government
hospital. Not what we wanted. So we walked the mile to the other
hospital. It was super nice, and super quick. Perfect.
This doctor was
approximately five thousand times better than the other one. He looked
at my foot, had me do some exercises to see which ones hurt and asked
about any other tests I had done. He said he was pretty sure that he
figured out what it is, so now we just have to go back tomorrow to do an
MRI and make sure. And he didn´t put a cast on. They did give me a shot
in my butt, which was a little bit traumatizing. Especially because it
wasn´t even in the hospital. We had to walk all over the place to find a
random drug store that was willing to carry out this rather specific
prescription. And because when I sat down, I gave the lady my arm, and
she looked at me like I was an idiot, while informing me the needle was
not going into my arm. But what do you do?
Anywho.
That´s about all that happened this week. I got to go to all four
sessions of Conference, being a cripple and all, so that was pretty
sweet. All the members of our ward judged me hard core for taking off my
own cast. I was chastised. A lot. But oh well. :)
Also!
I got a bunch of cards from the Young Women in the ward! Super awesome!
I got to read them all in the break between Conference sessions. The
other three Sisters thought they were pretty sweet. So thanks guys!
Have a great week!
