I will be back

I just wanted to pop in and say that I will be back, hopefully soon. I am very ill.

I don't know what I have but based on experience I think it is pneumonia. I have been running nonstop since last Friday despite of being sick, so instead of getting better, I have been getting worse.

Until then...I hope you all are doing well.

I'll be kinda missing

Last night I spent 6 hours in ER AGAIN. (Did I ever mention I have a ton of health issues?)

This is the THIRD time in a year I have had pneumonia. Luckily it wasnt like last summer when I had to spend 8 days in the hospital...with 4 of them in the ICU step down unit.

I went last night just to get a breathing treatment...and ended up sitting there on antibiotics, steriods and vicodin for 5 hours. Not to mention my BP was 200/115 when arrived...which started a whole other set of tests...EKG, constant heart and bp measuring...etc. Along with 9..yes NINE vials of blood tests and cultures...plus sitting on a bedpan so they can get a urine sample without making me get up....AND xrays of course.


Anyways..though I am feeling MUCH better today besides the lack of sleep...I need to catch up on studying and papers. Which I think is why I got so run down in the first place..so I may need to take a week off...we will see how this weeks goes with studying the skeltal system of the body..and how well it sticks. But for tonight...I must study for my skin and membrane tests.

I will try to keep up on reading blogs...but dont count on it. Ohhhhh and doodlemoms...I am goin to check in on the board tonight...but may not visit until thursday or so.

TTFN :)

When it rains...

Sunrise had a small patch of what looks like a skin rash next her mouth a few weeks ago. Last week it started to spread up her cheek.

Monday I picked her up from daycare and it was spreading even worse. Not to mention her runny nose. So I called the doctor and got her in on Tuesday afternoon.

She looked at her face and said.."Yep..impetigo. Sinus infection..no returning to daycare until Thursday". Which ticked off my boss..but whatever.

On Wednesday I woke up with a bad sore throat and muscle aches everywhere. I thought I was dying. Thursday we woke up and went about our day even though my brain was not right. So THursday I ran to the doctor and have strep throat So Sunrise and I are both feeling miserable. But that is ok...all will work out.
