skipping a few weeks.... Day 33?

Its so easy to lose track of time here in Pisco. So much has happened in the past few weeks. About half of the volunteers have left, so our numbers are down, but there have been new people arriving everyday, many of them staying for a long time. So today is friday, and on tuesday, I stepped on a plank with a 4 inch nail sticking out of it, and the nail went through my boot and about a half inch into the ball of my foot. It didn't actually hurt that bad and after about a half hour it stopped bleeding and I went back to work. Then the next day I woke up with a really high fever, so I went to the clinic to see if they had the tetanus anti imuno injection, but they didnt so they told me to go to the hospital. So David took me to the nicer private hospital and they were being so rude and unhelpful, some local lady told us to go to the government hospital. So we went there, but they told us that you can only get the tetanus injection in the morning. So they gave me an injection to make my fever go away, in a TENT. a tent. then we had to go back yesterday (thursday) morning to get my tetanus shot. Then I found out I have to get another one in april then another in august. :( Then last night my fever came back, BLEH, but today I feel better, so my antibiotics are probably starting to kick in. YAY!

About Me

Hello! I will be in Pisco, Peru for about 6 months with the organization Pisco sin Fronteras volunteering to help rebuild the city after an 8.4 earthquake in 2007. I thought I would share my experiences and pictures from everyday with whoever wants to check it out!
