I followed a nurse named P'Palm who let me help her clean and dress the patients' wounds. I saw two patients who were in motor cycle accidents, two with osteoporosis in their knees, one with osteoporosis in his hip, and a paralyzed patient with terrible bed sores. Both motor cycle patients had staples closing their wounds whereas everyone else had stitches.
The patient who was paralyzed couldn't move his legs and had sores on his butt and hip that needed stitches because of the constant pressure.
One family kept talking about me while we were re-dressing the wound and the nurse told me they were trying to tell me I was "so cute."
After lunch, Brooke and I crossed the overpass across the highway to add money to my SIM card. For the fifteen minutes we were outside in the sun, it was super hot and I felt like I should have put on sunscreen. 
Garret's dad brought us to Bangkok. On the way here, we saw a bunch of cows and goats being herded through the road back to the ranch.
It was great to see familiar faces and everyone is so excited to go to Chiang Mai. P'Mick and P'Aor came to see us off and even got us all bracelets for good luck.
Milly and I are super glad to be reunited and are excited for our mini vacation.
We also realized that Milly should probably stop flying with scissors.
