I knew that I would finish my Sweet mandarin Chapstick yesterday so I was excited to try my strawberry sorbet one this morning. I was going to have a new Chapstick on Saturday! This song played in my head as I thought about my family gatherings at Willow Metro Park when I was young and my Abuela was alive.
As for the Chapstick, hm. I don’t think that I love it but I think that’s because it tastes a little waxy like the watermelon one I had. Maybe I will just go back to my cucumber mint Chapstick for the summer. I am not sure. I should finish my other tubes before they get old!
The Hallmark channel is on in my house but I’m really not really paying full attention to it. I’ve seen this episode many times! My grandpa is gone and my dad before him but I was amused when I saw this commercial and I just have seen it twice and I just had to share it!:
So, we went to the dermatologist on Monday regarding my feet. I have been on medication for ringworm since April. I have known for a long time that my body takes an extremely long time to heal.
Tuesday, we made an appointment with the wound clinic that we were referred to. We are going there on July 11th. My Mom has been taking excellent care of my feet and it has been holy Thursday since Easter (she washes them twice daily). It’s definitely taking its toll on both of us!
My Mom was tending my feet and we called the wound clinic and made an appointment. The confirmation I got when we made the appointment was that it is with the infectious disease clinic.
It is extremely startling to see that I am going to the the doctor called infectious disease! I felt like a leper! What is this, 1800 and I have the Spanish flu, or I felt like a muddy soldier in a fox hole in Vietnam. I absolutely despise doing any Internet researching but I had to know how I got a staph infection!
I found two very important pieces of information that is the reason I have a staff infection! I only have two doses of medication in me now so my feet still hurt a whole lot but here are my findings and I wanted to share it here to let you all know that I am not dirty or unsanitary. These are the reasons I have a staph infection:
Well, I eat pretty cleanly but now, I’m not eating but drinking my nutrition so that could be some thing. My ringworm turned into pressure sores so this next one made sense as well:
We both are still tired and there is more things to say but I have to stop now because I am tired so I just need to rest now.
I cried last night for the first time during this whole ordeal as my Mom took my compression socks off. I thought it was because of my desperation in these circumstances. I kind of felt like a wuss! I pride myself in “grabbing my guts” throughout this whole thing as my Dad would tell me to…
But Then I received a message in my MyChart from my doctor. I opened it once I woke up and I have a staph infection! It’s no wonder that I cried and when I found out I have a Staph infection, I cried even more. I can’t wait for my Mom to get back here so I can get some relief because my feet really hurt!
I had a difficult day. And then it started to rain. I am so scared of how I am feeling and my feet hurt. But somehow, through all of this, this song is playing over and over in my head. I bought the tape single with my own money from Musicland at Fairlane Mall when I was 11. It’s crazy the random things that I remember but how I am feeling scares me and I wonder if this is the ‘last splash’?:
Well, it happened. I just woke up at about 5 pm. I had my first shake and drank my water but I am still tired.
I was just talking with my Mom about when I went to college in the summer as an undergrad and I took 23 credits. I forced myself to finish it to get out of school and be able to teach two Falls later. I crashed then. It was the first crash I experienced but I finished the classes!
This crash was delayed by two days. In those two days, I still woke up and my Mom still washed my feet and I made two phone calls each day to get transportation secured and appointments made.
Speaking on the phone is difficult for me but I did it and I was proud, I am proud but I am afraid of the crash I just experienced!
Yesterday, I went downtown back to the dermatologist regarding my feet and I am recovering from that today. I just now got out of bed after my Mom tended to my feet. while I was still in my bed, I made two appointments. The dermatologist referred me to the wound clinic and I had to secure a van to get there.
I guess there is no rest for the weary but let me just tell you all that I have an appointment in the infectious disease clinic!
I will tell you all more about it tomorrow but in the meantime, it’s back to recovering for me.
I didn’t sleep at all last night and my eyes hurt right now. My Mom went to go pick up the van because I’m going to the dermatologist for a return appointment regarding my feet because they look bad!
The first application of my strawberry Chapstick was a little bit too much of a scrape from the plunger. As I took my vitamins and drank my shake, I had another application and I could just blot because the could feel the plastic scraping my lips.
So, because I wear so much Chapstick all day, it looks like today will be a sweet strawberry Mandarin day because I am going to use both of them!:
I really have been thinking about my eclectic musical taste in high school. I just posted about music videos in the 90s. A friend posted this and I had to write about it!:
It was fun for me to think about my high school days! Things were so different back then! I wasn’t even diagnosed with MS until after high school. Just months after graduation.
So, thinking about all this old music, I am thinking of my Rando Tune #6 (makes me think of my Dad). I am not sure why I am hearing this song in my head and it kind of is embarrassing and I did not want to share music that I didn’t absolutely love on my blog but this one’s aim my head and I have to put in here because sleep was not an option last night. #MSsucks!!!:
So, six hours ago, a Facebook friend of mine posted this and I have not stopped thinking about it since she posted it:
Well Jackie: my first instinct was Missy Elliott:
But then I thought about Mase. I had a HUGE crush on him in high school!!!:
These two videos have scenes that one talk like an inside of a cheese grater but I didn’t comment it could have been this one as well, because it could!:
