hmm where to begin. let's just say i felt quite a bit better tuesday and then wednesday morning spiraled into a severe allergic reaction to those antibiotics i was taking. what does this mean? it means i have had no energy, have not been able to eat much at all, have been experiencing muscle pain of an arthritic person (like the BOTTOMS OF MY FEET hurt and it was hard to WALK yesterday) and have a rash covering my entire body. why am i at work? i don't know...because i've missed too many days and won't be able to pay bills.i can still answer the phone on death's door with a horrific rash and stomach pain and wierd swellings. i looked like rocky balboa this morning.
i want some real food real bad.
i want coffee.
i want a giant burrito.
my stomach can't tolerate it yet though. only rice and yogurt and bananas.
i just had a few sips of watery lipton tea.
that's it no sense overdoing it.
man, it's amazing how i take for granted that my body is strong and can breathe fully and it carries me around that i can lift equipment and play instruments and walk up flights of stairs and do yoga sun salutations and walk down the street and dance around.
i'm missing calendar girls tonite.
so sad. we were going to have a photo shoot but one look at me and they would've had to put a veil over me.
um, when i went back to the doctor yesterday the resident looked at my rash on my backside and said, "Oh my god."
isn't she supposed to be used to stuff like that? she brought in the senior doctor to look at it. they took a picture, as her field of study is ALLERGY. i'm not kidding. my leg may be used in some kind of allergy study.
if there were a gold medal given for best rash? yep it'd be me.
just now i noticed some of it on my wrist and inside arm. it creeped forward from my elbow.
all right kids have a good weekend!
eat something delicious and take care of yourselves. whatever you do don't take antibiotics!
