Friday Flash 55 - The Nurse is Worse - June 10, 2011

I'm once again a patient,

And gumpy as can be,

Dragging around an IV pole,

Whenever I have to pee.

In spite of a shot of morphine,

And a pill I got for sleep,

I can't seem to get any shut eye,

For listening to machinery bleep.

And Seton Hospital blocks my favorite Facebook games!

I am participating in that charming Mr Know It All's fabulous meme,

Friday Flash 55 - surely you want to be a part of it!

Another spider bite! I woke up in the middle of the night last Friday to a severe stinging in my left ankle. By morning, my ankle and foot were completely swollen and I could hardly put any weight on my foot at all. I had hoped to wait until Monday to see my doctor but, when it kept getting worse and worse, I went to the ER Sunday night. They gave me IV and oral antibiotics and started me on a 14 day regimen. Today, I went back in to see Dr. Yan and she said, "You need to be admitted so we can give you multiple IV antibiotics." So that's my story. I really don't feel well. That's why I've been so poor about replying to your comments and reading blogs, which is almost my favorite pastime. Wish me well and, for those who pray, that might even be good!
 I definitely could use a few prayers.
