This is where the pictures come in.

So if you want to see the picture.

Yeah, yeah.

It took five days in the hospital.

Basically, they just had to let the infection get through to that point.

And then they just carved it out.

Like, they scooped it out.

The surgery only took 30 minutes.

I called it my alien.

Like, it looked like a little alien on the back of my foot.

Yeah.

I wish that the listeners could see the photo.

No, seriously, like it really was the best case scenario.

And so, well, the other thing that I was going to say is that during that whole experience, I mean, I became really good friends with the nurses.

I'm on this internal unit and I'm the healthiest person there.

Yes, I was close to death, but like I became friends with all the nurses.

And I remember one of them said, oh, like, are you missing anything?

And I was like, well, you know, that date kind of tough, but you know, not like anything's ever going to come from it or maybe we'll just reschedule it.

We did end up rescheduling it.

And then we did end up a year later getting engaged.
