This has been a VERY interesting week!! Monday-Wednesday I was very sick to my stomach and couldn’t eat or drink anything without feeling like I was going to throw up…this was a little bit concerning but Thursday I woke up and I felt much better….EXCEPT my throat was totally swollen and my right eye was burning. I drank loooots of hot chocolate and ridded myself of the sore throat…the eye though, the eye! Yesterday I finally took out my contacts and looked under my bottom lid…EWWWWW, a sty the size of a pin head, you know, the yellow ones??? So.gross. Oh! I need to backtrack! Last weekend I tripped over Russell’s BIG BOAT-SIZED SHOES and fell and caught myself, hurting my wrist, yes, that wrist. Yes, that same wrist that has been hurt TWICE before. :/ Unlucky hand! So yesterday at work I went to the therapy department and asked the OT (occupational therapist) to look at it and see if she what she thought. Well, my wrist was too swollen for her to even feel my bones; she told me to go get an x-ray stat. I told Russell but then included that I didn’t think I needed to go, it would be fine….much to my dismay he disagreed. He said, “You’re going to the dr tomorrow and there’s nooo question about it!” Soooo just to make sure I went he took me to school so I wouldn’t have a car. J I didn’t mind, that meant I didn’t have to walk across campus in the coooold weather! He picked me up and away we went…yahoo. :/ They took the x-rays and have sent them off to the radiologist, we should hear back from them in a couple weeks….I think it’s just sprained but better safe than sorry I suppose. J

Now, onto more fun things! I get to go home this weekend!!! My mom’s birthday is on Monday, yes on Valentine’s Day (don’t remind her!) so Me, Russell, and Fancy (the facility dog that I’m watching this weekend) will be making the trip to Amarillo tomorrow morning!!! I’m so excited! I usually only see my family once every couple of months and I’m due for a family fix! I need it….this is why I live so close to the fam…I would not want to live any farther away! It would be too hard for me, I honestly don’t care what others think! I’m a mommy/daddy’s girl and I don’t care! J

Soooo Fancy is the facility therapy dog at Lakeridge Nursing and Rehabilitation (ya know….like where I work) and she’s kind of goofy looking…and she wears a diaper which was NOT easy to get on her! There are fashion diapers….yes fashion. They have one’s with polka dots, checkers, plaid, etc…. Poor dog, I’ve already warned her that my mom’s dogs are going to make fun of her but I don’t think she will care. I guess that’s all of my ramblings for the time being….My swollen/very painful wrist, my nasty sty infested eye, Fancy and myself have a little date with popcorn and Saturday night t.v…. or Golden Girls, not sure which yet.
