Right now?!

"Right now doc?"

 

Well I didn’t actually call him doc, but he did take me by surprise. I have to tell you this story. My wrist has really been bothering me since I got here and I noticed a bump (turned out to be a ganglion cyst- not dangerous) on the top of my hand last week so I thought I should get it checked out. I started calling doctors near the campus here because we don’t have any transportation. Every one I called wasn’t taking patients. I knew there was a doctor that came to the campus on Wednesdays, but I didn’t want to wait that long. So each doctor gave me the number of someone they thought was taking patients. After about ten calls I finally found a doctor taking patients and it turned out to the same Christian doctor that comes to the campus. The first appointment available was for Monday (yesterday). I thought to myself I should just wait until Wednesday so that I don’t have to find a ride, but I felt a pull inside that I should make my appointment for Monday, so I did. All weekend I was trying to figure out a ride to get to the doctors and by Monday morning I still didn’t know how I would get there. Then, that morning a friend here asked me how I was getting to the doctors and offered me a ride. Once we got there I thought he would look at the bump, do an x-ray and then maybe make an appointment for another day to take it out. But it turned out because of the earthquake he had some cancellations and so he did an hour surgery right then and there. So it is a good thing I went in on Monday instead of waiting for Wednesday. God sure is looking after me.

 

So now I have to do everything with my left hand for about a month. Crazy! Pray for Ben, he’ll be doing his homework, housework and taking care of me.
