Stir crazy

Most folks will tell you that I've always been a little (or maybe a lot) crazy but with this toe thing going on combined with the winter weather, I am a whole bunch of stir crazy.

I went back to my Doc on Monday and the infection had spread to the Big Toe. It was all blistered up and painful. They insisted that I see an Infectious Disease specialist and they got me in that afternoon. He confirmed that it was Cellulitus but that he suspected that it was the MRSA staph infection as well. MRSA is the anti-biotic resistant one that is in the news these days. He doubled my dosage of anti-biotic that I was taking and added another. So far it has really calmed down. I'm off my Crutches and able to walk when needed but the WALLS ARE STARTING TO SPEAK TO ME! I'm off work until the 26th so I've had to take FMLA. I'm fairly sure I will be well by then but from what I've read about MRSA, I am taking no chances.

It was amazing how seemingly fast this thing hit. Last Wednesday morning I talked with my Mom and didn't mention anything about it because it was just a minor itch in the Toe. By the end of my shift Wednesday, I could barely walk and when I got home and pulled off my shoe, I couldn't wear one anymore. (BTW-my Dad is doing really well, he is an amazing man that serves an awesome God)

Yesterday I got a card in the mail from the crew that works for me. It's nice to know that you are thought well of as a Boss. They are a great group of "Kids." I can say that since I was married before some of them were born!

I'm going to try to write more in the coming week. Might as well take advantage of this time.

Hope you all are well!
