Sunday, 23 March

HAPPY EASTER! Got up early, made coffee and made breakfast. The new stove wasn't set up yet (it's a 220 box and we just have the regular connection), so I cooked everything in the George Forman grill (the biscuits, bacon and eggs). I made breakfast sandwiches and they were delicious. So we had that and coffee and after that, Olivia woke up so I got her bottle and then changed her. So cute - she is so cute. After that, we got cleaned up and ran a few errands. Then came home and Kurt worked on the cabinets (they look so great - he is doing such a great job) and I took Olivia for a walk with the dogs. So big adventure for the day - I ended up going to the Emergency room, I had these bumps on my leg and they were causing me a lot of pain, so much that I was having a hard time to walk. So went to the hospital and they took blood, they had to drain the infected bumps and they put me on high dosage of Antibiotics. They took cultures and they told me it's an MRSA infection (infections that are resistant to most antibiotics). Here is a little info about it: MRSA, generally start as small red bumps that resemble pimples, boils or spider bites. These can quickly turn into deep, painful abscesses that require surgical draining. Sometimes the bacteria remain confined to the skin. But they can also burrow deep into the body, causing potentially life-threatening infections in bones, joints, surgical wounds, the bloodstream, heart valves and lungs. Gross right! So I was at the hospital for about 3 hours, came home then got my prescription and that was most of my night. I was in pain all night, could barely sleep.
