Well, this week I got unexpected surgery.. HAHA I had some bad pains in my lower right side in the middle of the night Tuesday and it woke me right up, I was in so much pain, the next day we decided to go to the Doctors, and she literally questioned me for 20 min. She kept saying I was for sure pregnant... HAHAH finally I raised my voice and said "I am a missionary, I am not pregnant, I have not even been around males for 5 months, there is not even a slight chance I am unless I ate something" That put her to silence and she said okay you aren't pregnant, still made me do a test, and YAY I wasn't pregnant.. HAHAHAH. Ah, well she sent me immeiditely up to the hospital after doing the Appendix test, the hospital here is CRAZY.
I promise each of you that you do NOT want FREE health care!!! After sitting in the waiting room for 6+ hours, and literally dying and then seeing people come in that had a cough, I just wanted to die.. HAHA I finally got surgery 2 1/2 days after the original time of going into the hospital! I was put into a Ward, which is a section of the hospital where they put you in a room with 6 other people and it looks like what you would think world war 2 hospital would look like, I then had to be in this hospital bed with these 6 other sicklings for 2 days, It was hard. One night I was all alone in my bed, I really felt so alone, I missed America, I missed each of you, and I especially missed my family... I just sat there and cried and right then I had the nicest nurse named Rebecca come in, she didn't come to give me pills, she just came to see how I was. She sat on the bed with me for like 30 min, she just let me cry and just rubbed my back. She was an angel to me. I felt so grateful. Well, I got surgery and got my appendix taken out, and now I am staying at a Senior Couples house for a few days recovering! Please pray for me to have a speedy recovery so that I can continue to assist the Lord in this AMAZING work!
I am grateful today and always for each of you. I really did think about each of you indiviually in my time in the hospital and how you have each influenced my life. I am so grateful for the friendships I have, and the great memories which I have with each of you. I love you so much, I am so grateful to still be going strong!
YOU are important. YOU are loved, and you are doing better than you could ever imagine!
Arohanui,
