quick update on Tim's hand
Tim's hand was looking pretty bad today, and still bleeding, so we took the advice of our doctor (who is out of town currently) and went to the hospital. We brought Liis with us, to translate. Although she's only in 7th class (grade), she does an excellent job translating. And her mother works as a nurse in this hospital, so she knows lots of people there!
It was a little weird, because we had to take a number, just like you would when buying something from a deli or something! It was similar to that Mr. Bean episode when he has in hand stuck in the tea kettle though. (I kept complaining about "socialized medicine"!)
But the wait wasn't long, they cleaned it and bandaged it, gave him a tetanus shot and an x-ray (a waste of taxpayers' dollars, in my opinion!), and then we were on our way. Price paid: ZERO!
So, keep praying for him, because it does hurt, and I am worried about it. Tomorrow he goes to Youth Councils for the weekend.
