Today Louisa and I went to the hospital (medical clinic in the hospital really) because we both were having problems with our eyes. A girl in our group got pink eye and then still came to class, so long story short we all have pink eye! Here it is called ojo rojo, or what I think is conjunctivitis in English.
Going to the medical clinic was much easier than expected. An advisor from IES came with us just in case we were confused or needed help with the translations. It was super fast and easy and the doctor couldn't have been nicer. We went to the pharamacy to pick up our eye drops and they were equally as kind. They wrote out directions for Louisa and I and went over the eye drops, how and when to use them.
What's even better is that when I came home and told Marianna she made a calendar for me with boxes to check off each time "we" do my eye drops. She has insisted on putting the eye drops in my eyes for me. Louisa and I cannot stop laughing because we feel like we are two years old but we are so grateful that things went so smoothly when honestly it could have been a nightmare!
