It’s been a REAL interesting week...........
so last Monday I played Rugby for the first time, I did really good! so I mean
that makes up for it. but anyway, I ended up doing something to my ankle. all I
know is that I stepped in a hole and my ankle bent one way and I bent the other
and there was a loud pop. well we went to the sideline and we looked at it. Initially
there was some type of pain, then there was nothing. so, as any normal 20-year-old
would do.... I played on it (sorry mom). I didn’t hurt the whole time (until I
said hey I need to stop my ankle hurts) but anyway so we went to eat lunch and I
was like "wow my ankle really hurts" and my comp and I just laughed.
well we went about our day and we went back home to get ready and I took off my
shoe and my foot was just swollen! and I was like ahh, crap! and so we call the
mission nurse and she’s like okay tell me what happened we tell her she tells
me I’m dumb for playing on, then she tells me I’m not allowed to go outside and
work and I need to ice my foot. well I do that and the next day she calls and
asks how’s it going and I tell her well it still hurts and the swelling hasn’t
gone down and now we have some bruising. well she’s like take some Ibuprofen
and I tell her I can’t because whenever I take that I turn from Dr. Jekyll to Mr.
Hyde. well so she calls the mission Dr. and gets a list of medications that
will help but don’t have the same ingredients in them. so, she gets me this
drug called Naproxen. I guess it does the same thing and it won’t kill me. so, I
take it and I tell my companion okay, we are going to be on red alert for the
next 45 minutes to make sure that I’m not going to die so were sitting there
and my companion says something funny and so I laugh but when I breath in I’m
all wheezy and I’m like AHH CRAP, ITS ABOUT TO GO DOWN. 10 minutes later the
transformations start’s. I take a puff of the inhaler that my mom warned I
needed (moms really do know all). and I tell my companion all right we have to go!
so we go down and get a taxi because I want about to get into one of the "ambulances
“or as I like to call them a chop shop on wheels. so, we get to the hospital
and everyone is just looking at me. they get me to the place where they just
kind of look at me and the nurse looked up and she basically thought I was a
demon. it was really comforting when I heard a shriek followed my her taking
the lords name in vain. (Grade "A" bed side manner) then they take me
into this other room where they put an Iv in me and I don’t know who made this
poor lady mad but I felt that she had some pent-up anger when she stuck the needle
in. so anyway they pumped me full of medication and I guess they gave me some
sort or sedative I was just feeling so good! and I was just chill. I was cool
as a cucumber. well after we got out of satan's vacation home we called for a
Remis (argentine Uber) it got there and we hopped in (keep in mind that I’m
still on that sedative) and he was like "yo what happened to your
buddy" and my companion was trying to explain that his companion Elder
Hunchback from Notre Dame has some problems with medication. and the whole time
his explaining this I’m just in the back of this car with my body and fluid as
water rocking out to Burn by Ellie Goulding. I really think I may have been
singing it better than she does! then we were stuck in the house for a few more
days and then we went to church on Sunday and that’s basically how we
spent our week. an and I had a sore throat the last 3 days of it.. but I’m all
good now so that’s good! my ankle is still swollen so I’ll probably have to go
to the doctors for that, so I mean that’s fun. but yeah, it’s been a great
week! and yes, I have photos! you are in luck!
