This will only sting for a second...

Good Friday morning!  You have no idea how good it really is.  Compared to Wednesday, it's night and day.  See, Wednesday I felt like I had been beaten in the head.  My body ached.  I had a horrible fever.  My glands were so large I could hardly swallow.  I learned at the doctor that afternoon that a raging bacterial infection had raised the ol' wbc to 17k...hence, me feeling like hot garbage.  Top that off with a double ear infection as the massive swelling had blocked their ability to drain.  What in the world had I done to obtain these horrid creepy crawlies?!

So, nurse wonderful comes in to save my day.  I've become accustomed to the drill and would think it would be less painful knowing it's coming.  Nope.  This nurse was like an old west gun slinger.  Whip-cha!  *insert lone cowboy whistle*  She drew that syringe and fired a shot in .0012 of a second.  Before I could wrap my brain around the fire that now consumed my right backside, I heard her reach for her other holster. Again she took the prize for being quick-draw-mcnurse.  "This will only sting a second."  Yeah. Whew!  I felt so relieved it was over, yet a little unloved because she didn't pet me at all.  I felt like a grown woman who has endured painful surgeries and procedures...like these two shots should be nothing. Oh wait, that's true. Guess that's a good reason not to have fallen in the floor crying like I kinda wanted to do.

Fast forward to today given as to how I pretty much missed the rest of that day and yesterday I was useless as well.  Today...I feel so much better.  So blessed for medicine that kills the creepsters inside.  So blessed to have the healthcare we have.  So blessed to be back to "normal".  No comments or giggles, please.

On another note,  it's worth mention that since January 14th, I've lost 16.6lbs.  :)  I'm happy with that number, but hate a lot of it was due to sickness.  Hoping by Feb 14th, I can bring it to a nice even loss of 20lb....with diet....no more sickies for me!  I'm no longer accepting germs.  Thanks though.

Yahoo for a good weekend ahead!  We'll see what we can get into next.  On the agenda...dining room to office conversion.  Should be interesting!
