I'm Falling Apart!

Well, I guess working 24/7 catches up with all of us eventually, right????

I'll try to make this as non-boring as possible. A few weeks ago I got bit by a chigger or mosquito. I know every Okie in the land knows about chiggers. Apparantly, people in New Mexico do not. I could explain how I know that, but it would take a lot of time.

This would've been about the second week in July. Over the course of the last few weeks the said "bite" got scratched, infected, and developed cellulitis. I finally caved and went to the doctor and got on some antibiotics. About 48 hours into the antiobiotics I realized my neck was itching. I had some mosquito bites there also so didn't think about it much. I woke up last Friday morning with a doozie of a rash. Called the doc and got on another antibiotic. Guess what? That one did the same thing!

I went back to the doc yesterday. She prescribed Prednazone, a steroid, to help battle the allergic reaction and the bad leg since it's starting to get ugly again.

How did I get so old? I remember the days when I could go non-stop for months and never think twice! Now I get a chigger bite and my leg is rotting off! What's that about?????

I will NOT put this on my 40 new things list!

I made it to work for about 3 hours today. We'll see how long I make it tomorrow!!!

Who knows, I could stub my toe and wind up in the emergency room by morning!!!!!!!!!!
