Jigger and
Caterpillars 18th-19th August 2012
I
had my first Jigger incident (for those of you who haven’t heard). I hope to get pictures up about it, but do
google it if you dare! Ewwwee it was
horrid, I was NOT impressed. But the
lovely Aunty Betty did the surgery on my foot with the help of a safety
pin...and ‘dug’ that nasty Jigger out of my right little toe! The following day to this, I ended up having
an encounter with a nasty caterpillar!
They are like a cactus, they have lots of small thin spikes and if you
touch them, stick right into you. It was
my right little finger! My right side
was having a bit of a hard time that weekend.
Will try and find a pic for you of such a caterpillar. I spent WEEKS continuing to use pair of
tweezers to get more out from under my skin!
The Caterpillar incident threw me over the edge that week, I had had
enough by that point! Thank God, my toe
has healed up well, and is almost now back to normal. No added trouble of infection that I was
concerned about. Another lesson in
trusting God in one’s health and where we are in Africa and the difference in
medical care out here compared to back at home.
Pictures of Caterpillar and Jigger to come!!!
