Well it was certainly the most interesting day of my travels so far! I finally arrived in Tonga at 8.30 am on the 31 August having never had the day of the 30th August 2006 which is so strange. Matt and Toni were at the airport to pick me up and it was really good to see some familiar faces. We got home and within an hour of getting to toni's matt had me dressed and ready for going into the hospital. I was quite excited and it was definitely an offer I could not pass up. We went and I was introduced to all the doctors who were more then happy for me to watch in surgery. The first operation of the day was an apendixotomy or i think thats what it was called and I felt positively ill watching someone being cut open but it was definitely good to watch. I thought I would never stomach anything else but would give the next on a try just incase I could manage it. Well I don't think I have ever seen something so gruesome and yet I didn't even feel sick...how strange. This woman had a diabetic foot and was awake but the doctors needed to clean up the wound in theatre. They started cleaning it up and then decided to amputate her foot whilst she was still awake. So there they are cutting off her foot and then they really hacked at it before just picking it up by the big toe and chucking it in the bin! It was very surreal and especially as she was just looking while he did it! We saw a couple more really gross things but if i want you to all read this i will lave that bit out. After being in the hospital we decided to go into town and watch a movie which I saw about the first 10 mins before falling asleep on Matts shoulder. Apparently it is a very good film...I will never know. That was the end of the night really and I was so tired I just slept through to today. I will update the rest asap x
