Time wounds all heels

The whole time i have been in Peru, i have been dealing with an ingrown toenail. I was hoping to wait till i get back to the USA to take care of it but it has been getting worse and infected. I finally decided i couldn't wait and i had surgery on it this past Wednesday. It wasn't to bad at all, they stabbed my toe with a couple three foot long needles, and then proceeded to rip my toenail off. As bad as it sounds, it didn't hurt at all. What did hurt is today when he changed the wrapping, he was far from gentile, and he took more than the wrapping, and then rubbed it down with alcohol. It was really a different experience than it would have been in the USA i feel like. Fortunately i am done going to the doctor, and i will be able to change the wrapping myself in the future.

Aside from that, we got rain and hail today. I think it is about time for rainy season to start, so i should get used to it! I only have about 40 days left, so i want to study Spanish harder so i can come away having learned a little more. I have grown a lot, and learned a lot being here, and i really appreciate everything my parents have done to allow me to be here. I am truly blessed.
