So since I missed a few days this past week - I figured I could make up for it with some WEEKEND EDITION of my blog!
I was able to return safely to Taipei. There was massive flooding in Hong Kong that was starting while we were trying to get out. It was pouring heavily, delaying us on the runway for an hour before taking off. No weather problems in Taiwan! But the delay caused me to arrive right in the middle of rush hour. So the normal 60 minute car ride from the airport turned into over 90 minutes.
Friday night I went to the doctor. Not to get too graphic, but I've been fighting some warts on my feet the past 6 months, they've progressively gotten out of hand. Went to a doctor 4 weeks ago, was trying some stuff - wasn't working. So the doctor this past Friday night decided they were deep enough to cut the things out with a hot iron. Looks like a soldering iron! The painful part was getting the local in the three different spots - I almost fainted! But once my foot was numb, I was able to walk out of the hospital with very little pain. Total cost for the entire procedure (including bandages, pain pills, and "goop" to take home) = $65 US. Still cheaper than the parking prices at Mayo Clinic!!!
I was able to walk better this weekend with my pain pills in hand and once the swelling goes down, I should be back to normal! I haven't been able to fully enjoy myself the past month just because of not being comfortable walking around town. Should be fully healed with a little TLC by next weekend.
Anyway - just a random update - and probably TMI but you should know me by now!
Have a good weekend!!

Uncomfortable walking....swollen feet...welcome to my world! 5 more weeks!
Oh man, I feel for you! I had a plantar's wart on my foot I was treating for maybe 5 years before it went away. Those warts are stubborn. Good luck with the healing!
