Category: A Bit Of Randomness

This category is full of randomness that really doesn’t fit nicely into any of the categories having to do with my road to walking.

Hm.

My Mom took my left sock off this morning, well, really this afternoon to wash my feet. She looked at the sore on my heel and just said, “Hm.” That was a very succinct sound that had extremely concerning undertones to it. I immediately got concerned!

She took my right sock off and told me that we should probably see the dermatologist again. It’s starting to look infected.

I called the dermatologist’s office immediately! There were no appointments available where we went the first time but I was able to get in on Monday for downtown. Immediately after I got that appointment, I called the van rental place to see if we could get one for Monday. One was available so it seems that things are working out!

Maybe after this doctor’s appointment my feet will finally stop hurting so much…

Rando Tune #7

I thought of this song last night as I was starting to fall asleep and I started singing it in my head and I got all the way to, “ I wish I could scream out loud that I love you! I wish I could say to you don’t go! 😂😂😂

I looked it up and the album was released in 1993! I was 11 years old! I thought about the festival being put together under the overhang at Saint Alphonsus! For all of you who know, you know!

I think it is crazy that I remembered basically all of the words to a song from when I was 11 but don’t ask me to remember my passwords!!!

Not 1, but 2!!!

It was not too long ago when Sean commenting on the fact that I have a, “Bag of Chapstick.” He made fun of me and said that I am so bougie about some things but I have my Chapstick it is a Ziploc bag!

I explained to him that when you get that low on the Chapstick the little plunger will fall out so that’s why I put it in a bag until I finish it. He told me that he did not know that because he has never finished a tube of Chapstick and he usually loses it first.

Well now, hold up just a minute! I may be a little ghetto with my Ziploc bag of Chapstick but let me just clarify that right now it is not one, but two bags of Chapstick!!!:

A Hint of a Scrape

Yesterday, I wore my strawberry Chapstick. But I think that it will soon be a one-man race because I’m pretty sure that strawberry is going to win because yesterday before I went to bed, as I put my Chapstick on, I felt a hint of a scrape from the plunger on my lips. I think tomorrow will be the last day for strawberry. I knew it was going to win!

Once I am finished with the sweet Mandarin bag of Chapstick, I will go into my new phase of spring/summer flavors:

I have a four pack of cucumber mint already in a different container but I wanted to try strawberry sorbet. If I like it, I will get three more chapsticks to have in the wings for next summer. So then I will just have two flavors. My fall flavors are a lot. I have four of them and three winter flavors.

I have thought about this way too much but it gives me something to focus on.

6 Hours Ago…

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!:

Man, I have loved late 90s rap!!!

Sweet Strawberry Mandarin

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!:

Still Recovering but…

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.

Crash!

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!

Rando Tune #9

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’?:

No wonder

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!
