Merry Christmas Everyone!
Hello All,
I hope that your holiday's were full of love, laughter and light. This Christmas was a real stinker for me. I started off yesterday, Christmas Eve, sicker than I've been in a long time. I was throwing up and so nausea I could not even stand up right. I had to call into work and spent the entire day and night between my bed and the bathroom. I was hoping that on Christmas Day I would be better. My stomach was good when I woke up by my face puffed up like crazy and my right eye was so puffy, blinking hurt.
Off to the ER for me! Just how I wanted to spend my holidays, waiting around in the ER to be seen. I was finally seen and unfortunately not by a McDreamy, but my nurse was pretty cute and had a wicked sense of humor. The doctor thinks I have a kind of skin infection in the face, and wanted to immediately admit me to the hospital. I protested and we agreed to try a strong bout of antibiotics and if they do not work I will go back immediately and be admitted. I'm told infections are common for those with diabetes but it can be hard to battle as well. I have everything crossed that the iv antibiotics I was given in the ER and the scrip I have will battle and win against the infection. I do not want to call into work again, especially when I just got the trainer position. I hate missing work to begin with and quite honestly if it was not for work I would have happily been admitted into the hospital but I want to be there and help with training our new hires. So please prayers and good thoughts are definitely needed!
On much happier note though my husband got me a set of real pearl necklace and earrings. I've wanted a real set for years now and he totally surprised me with a set of my own! I also think he quite enjoyed his gifts as well. I was not up to cooking though so hungry man tv dinners for us tonight. I know it sounds sad, but I got to spend the day with man I love more than anything in the world and our furry babies by our side, so all in all I still have many blessings to count. I hope that everyone's holiday found them well in health and spirit.
