Subject: RE: BS: Settling in Guam
Thanks, everyone. It's been tough this week but next week is Easter Break. We'll be off for 9 days. How sweet it will be. Tomorrow is the last day.

Today I went to see the doctor and he demoted me from a walking boot and put me back into a cast. Bummer. Several pounds of fiberglass that I cannot removed without power tools.

The week before last I accidentally nailed the edge of the bathroom vanity with the big toe that stuck out of the cast. I ripped back the toenail pretty bad. When we went to the last doctor visit he pulled off Wakana's makeshift bandage and took a look at it. Wakana asked him to show her what to do with it.

You know the wire cutters an electrician uses? The one they call dikes? He picked up a set of those in stainless steel and started cutting off the toenail while poor Wakana did the Dance of Disgust in the doorway. She said she felt those cutters working on HER toe. I didn't feel any pain only because I was laughing so hard at her!

The toe is pretty ugly now and he says the rest of the nail will go soon but I doesn't hurt very often.

Guess I'll go to bed. I'm tired.
