It is a sweet delight to watch God's sovereignty play out!  This trip has been committed to Him and even when we think, "Bummer!" ~ He uses for good!  And He is in the midst of all.
My delightful and fruitful trip to urgent care could have ended unfavorably ~ we were told the x-ray machine was broken, so leave and come back tomorrow.  Not my intrepid hostess!  She boldly (but politely and meekly) walked into the doctors exam room, explained the situation, and asked if he could at least look at my foot; he agreed!  That's when we had the joy of visiting with the two gals in the other picture, and the gentleman I mentioned.
After more than 1.5 hours, (it's about 4:45 p.m. at this point) I was able to see the doctor ... who said the x-ray machine was JUST FIXED!  So downstairs we go (walking, all this time, on a foot with three fractures; things are done a little differently here ...), then back up stairs (thank God for elevators) to the news of a triple fracture.  NOW walk a ways again to the room where they will apply the cast ... then be let go to hop, hanging on to my still intrepid hostess and my husband ... until I can't do it anymore!  Guess what?  right where we stopped were two wheelchairs!  ... still not sure why we weren't offered one, but as I said, things are maybe done a little differently here.
And we only needed to move out of the way once for the driver who needed to get out of his parking place next to the building by driving up the side walk in front of the clinic; made perfect sense since he wanted to go the opposite way of rush hour traffic  ...
Meanwhile, our intrepid host is leading our stalwart team on their particular journey.  They walked some hefty hills, according to Neal, and were able to enjoy walking by and learning about schools, parks and other local life settings!
After all this our beautiful hostess fixed a delectable Turkish-style dinner.
All in all, it was a very fruitful day, filled with lots of laughter, love, tenderness, and caring!  Much done in the heavenlies and wonderful connections made on this earth.  God is sovereign and we get to have the joy of experiencing it :)
