So i last said that i had an infection near my tailbone and it was very very painful. well that same infection landed me in the hospital for 3 days, 2 nights and had to have minor surgery... Not how i wanted to spend my last 2 weeks in Australia. The infection ended up being an abcess that needed to be drained. It was an hour long procedure and I was in alot of pain. I was finally released and allowed to go home. But that was just the beginning. At first it was horrible. I couldn't move from my bed and had to rely on everyone for even the smallest thing. Thankfully I have amazing friends here that I can not thank enough for everything they have done for me. Emily and Danielle were with me everyday in the hospital and have been taking great care of me. Mara too! I wasn't allowed to go on my Gold Coast trip which was a bummer =/ But I have been slowly making progress. Walking downstairs used to be a challenge but now I have come to master it. I even walked over to Mara's house for a change of scenery!
The two people though that have gotten me through this and have literally been there for me even at the most inconvenient hours were my parents.(Sorry if this makes you cry) I really couldn't have done this without them. All the late night phone calls to calm me down and tell me it is ok really mean alot to me. Mom even if you are mumbling and dont remember talking to me, thanks! I am glad I took your advice and went back to the doctors. Dad you are my rock. You even offered to stay on skype with me until i fell asleep. I thank-you for everything you do. Espically that email. At first I was like "oh great a long sappy email from dad." Yes it did make me cry but you know what, it was a great email that had alot of truth in the words. I love you both so much! I really wish you both could have been here with me through this whole terrible mess but I know that you are always thinking of me. Can't wait to finally be home in 2 weeks!
This whole mess has really made me a stronger person that I was before I came here. I know it is not an ideal situation, but I just have to make the best of it!
