this is all I can do I guess!

You can see a podiatrist when you come back here, and I heard they do laser after the surgery then it solves the root problem.

and it caused me to faint, trousers falling round my ankles, onto an old lady.

wow I'm sorry you fainted by being jabbed in the butt, and probably the old lady won't forget an unusual occasion of a foreigner leaning on her half naked, or fainting.

I've no family or friends left over there haha, but yeah I'll figure it out =)

mm how come? well, anyway, people are adaptable like me all alone for more than a year as surrounded by 99 Indian classmates and 1 Korean myself.
