SO after lunch I met with hma Hugie to ask about my foot. ope, a little more info, hace 5 años (5 years ago) I went on a science club trip, my first one! I was WAY excited and our first day we got to the oregon coast, and we went to the beach. When the wind picked up, we went back to set up for camp. However, on the way back I stepped 6 inches off the trail and felt my foot got stabbed. So I jogged back, took off my shoe, and my science teacher, Mr. Redmond cleaned it all up and took out the sand and shell mix of things. Yes, it was lame, but I had a cool spot where the muscles grew together and made a little lump. Good remind right?
So now 5 years later, Hma Hugie says "thats infected, and quite ugly." and with a pocket knife in hand, she contemplated taking out the infection right there, but decided it was too deep and sadly prefered for a professional to do it with anesthesia (sp?). So we planned that. and those trips happened this week!!! Actually I had a few phone calls from Presidente Kähnlein, and Hma hugie reminding me to get it done the most quickly I could! jaja
So miercoles, wednesday, we went and got some exams and they said you should get that removed. jaja They corrected me and said "there is actually something inside of you, and you are quite lucky not to have had anything worse happen. Normally the body cant carry something for so long without leaving major problems." So I got an "ecotomografía" also known as an ultrasound...on my foot. and yup there was a rather large object, just one, and I talked with the doc. We scheduled things and by some miracle, friday had an opening. So I got some medicine and well it was late, so we stayed in Viña wednesday night and came home on thursday. We also visited Orlando and Nadya and they were quite surprised! It was great!!!
Then Friday morning we had the greatest day ever!!! Karen y Mauricio got married and we were there to support them and everyone was so happy and impressed! Not many people get married here in Chile! Like VERY FEW people! SO it was a big deal! And we were all just so happy for them!!! Then, right after we were on a bus going back to Viña.
We got to viña, I got my results from the ultrasound (8mm object in my foot) and I ran into a familia from Peña Blanca!!! It was great!!! Then we rolled over and I got in with the doctor. As he was preparing for the local anesthesia (sp?) he asked if I took the pain pill before we went in... lets just say there was some miscomunication, and I didnt do that... and so he told me in clear english "Well, God is with you." and I just had to take it the more painful way! jaja thats one way to learn!! So the needle was tiny, not bad there, but like we know, putting in the pain drugs is VERY painful! I tried to stay still, but just incase, the nurse held my legs down. and of course it has to be about 3 rounds of the pain shots!!! Well, that was the hardest, only about 15 minutes of good hard pain, then he went away, cut and got out this thing and what could it be? Well that mix of things from that day 5 years ago went through my shoe and it actually left a piece of rubber from my shoe in my foot! SUPRISE!!! jaja So he did that and he gave me instructions to take care of it and all was well!! we stayed in Viña that night as well and all is well now! It is recovering very well and quickly now! I just have to walk a little slower now! For a week or so.
So that has been the jist of my week. If I would have waited 10 days more, I would have had the operation on the same day as my first one!!! jaja almost exactly one year later!! jaja But no worries to everyone, all is well! Just a nice little funny story!!! I love you all and I hope that you dont have too many surprises like me! jaja Chao!!!
