my work and my dear toe

My big toe hurts. I've got an ingrow toenail. I went to a nurse, and I was told to see a doctor because he can't prescribe me any drugs to reduce the swelling. I'm seeing the stars haha. I hope tonight I can sleep well. Besides my dear toe, this day was great (an ordinary day though)- I got up and went to work (I work as a carpenter assistant). I don't really know how to translate carpenter to English( a qué le llaman carpintero en USA) exactly. Today(?) I worked with a chipboard, MDF plywood making kitchen, and bathroom furniture (I don't know how to build a house out of wood).  Then I got home, had a snack with a friend, and here I am trying to improve my English skills.
