This week definitely has been the craziest of my whole mission. But there is probably no other way Hermana Oram would celebrate 1 year in the mission. It all started Tuesday night when I thought it would be fun to have 2 dinner appointments and well I really don’t like to tell people no when they offer me food so we ate a ton on Tuesday night. Then Wednesday morning I woke up with a bunch of stomach pain and I thought that it was just from the excess amount of food and I felt guilty about the overload the night before so I started the repentance process of overeating and did about 300 sit ups and then the pain got a lot worse so we called the nurse of the mission and she said to do lay on my back and rest for an hour and then see where the pain went well at about 12noon the pain was super sharp on my lower right side and I was dying with pain and so my companion Hermana Blanchard called the elders to come give me a blessing they at first thought that it was just a stomach ache that didn’t need a blessing but after some insisting they came and gave me a blessing about the tome that the nurse said I had to go to Tegucigalpa really fast because well in Danli there is nowhere even qualified to take out appendices. So we got a ride with a member to Zamorano where Elder Oldroyd took us to the Hospital In Tegus it was a really nice hospital and they took me to emergency and run blood tests and ultrasounds and all that and then a CT scan and everything came back normal except my white blood cells were really high and I was in a lot of pain and every pain killer they put in me didn’t help at all so then at about 7 they told me that they were going to keep me over night and if I still had pain in the morning they were going to see what they were going to do. Well at about 9 or 10 I was up in my room with my comp and I was literally dying or thought I was with pain and I called the nurse and they called the doctor who came in and said they were going to prep me for surgery and not wait until the morning well they took me into surgery and everything went good and about midnight I was out and like 1 in the morning back in my room with three holes in my stomach but they are tiny. The doctor said my appendix was attached to my abdominal wall and it was swollen so it was appendicitis. The next morning we left the hospital and went to the mission home and then Friday morning we came back to Danli and have been resting here but we also went to the baptism of Maria de Los Angeles that was a whole other story my awesome companion totally kept planning the whole baptism from the hospital room and we ended up having a super pretty baptismal service. I still am in a little pain but we went to church yesterday and worked a little it was super nice to get out of the house because recovering from an appendectomy isn’t that fun with mission rules and just studying and sleeping hahah but it should be a quick recovery and I should be as good as new soon. Thank you so much for all the prayers. I am glad to leave a little part of me here in Honduras! I can’t believe how fast time has gone by but I am so grateful for this last year and the crazy things I have learned and all that I will learn in the next 6 months!!!!!!
