I really AM Lucy - I get that now and I EMBRACE it....I truly do.
That said...yesterday was the first day I felt sorta well again. So, I decided to make a nice dinner of ( turn away Mitty ) Kung Pao Chicken. As I made it, I went to open the HOISEN sauce....there was still a piece of that protective plastic thingie stuff on it and I somehow punctured my finger on it. It didn't bleed, so I sort of spaced it off ....then Lab called and I got yakking with her ( she is a riot btw ).
I get off the phone and go finish dinner.....and by now, my flipping finger is really hurting. So I slap a bandaid on it; one of those with the antibiotic stuff already on it.
3 hours later, my arm is throbbing 0_0 So, I did what any sane person would do and I went to bed.
I wake up and my hand is throbbing and my finger is swollen. I stumble to the bathroom and notice I have several red streaks from my hand all the way up my arm. NEAT! I have no immunity left in my body so now a flesh eating disease has gotten me!! ( Gwen says rectal bleeding is next for me - DTM ).
I call in sick to work -- because if you have a flesh eating disease and you are about to lose a hand...you don't want to be at work. I'm thinking it might traumatize a kid to have a finger fall in their goldfish crackers.
I go to the ER and a 10 yr old doctor examines my finger ( I did say " perhaps I've been watching too much HOUSE??" Naturally, he watches HOUSE and loves the show which led to a discussion on THAT ).....anyhoo.....turns out that I am allergic to the medicine on the banaid. SIGH.
Drama averted....sorta!! I shall keep my hand for yet another day!!

lol - that is funny!
Mash grapes with your feet and call it a day. Unless, of course, there is anal bleeding. Then, we don't want to eat any grapes/wine you were standing over.

This just in from DittyDiane aka Laura:
That is quite a story but of course I have a better one. i can't remember how to blog and i am in a hurry. Here it is: My Mom and her sister buy new jackets at younkers, made in China. My mom tires it on at home, again. She really likes it. AFter she tries on this coat the pits of her arms, inside of her elbows, start to turn red. The next day they are bright red and feverish. They start to hurt. She goes to the doctor. Doctor gives her a cream and doesn't know what it is. Two days later really hurts and is not getting better. She calls the doctor and she sends her to a dermatologist. The derm. dr. puts her on an antibiotic and gives her stronger cream. Her arms start to improve. She starts to have really bad pain in her back and has been throwing up and has the runs all night. My dad calls and says I am taking your mom to the ER. She is in a lot of pain. I meet them there. The doctor gives her fluids to hydrate her. She thinks she is better. 5 hours later she goes home. She did show the doctor her arms and told him she was on an antibiotic. The next morning my dad calls and says I am taking your mom back to the doctor. She is really sick again. I meet them there. We sit there all day and they admit her to the hospital. They don't really know what is wrong. Maybe the flu. They put her on IV meds and a different antibiotic. She is really sick. Moaning and groaning. I have never seen her like this and it is awful to watch. AFter two or three nights they let her go home. Still didn't say what was wrong. She takes this new antibiotic home for a ten day dose. AFter ten days she starts getting really sick again. She goes back into the hospital. They do a colonoscopy and figure out she has C-Diff. It is when an antibiotic eats the good bacteria in your colon and makes you really sick. She has to take this new antibiotic, the one she got the first time in the hospital, for 30 days. It makes it so you can taste but she gets a lot better. My skinny mom that weighed 119 is down to 109. She doesn't look good. She slowly gains weight and is now fine.
The coat from younkers, from China, had a dye on the lining that she reacted to. The first antibiotic gave her C-Diff. She got so sick and went through all of this because of a stupid coat made in China.
I am glad your finger is better.
Maybe you used Chinese bandaids.
I'm just saying...
Laura - did you see how Mamamormon used your Mother's pain to make fun of me?? Pitiful...just plain pitiful
Well, it made sense in my head.
I'm just saying...
I'm sure Hitler said that often
Yea. I see that. I love it.
Laura - don't you have a CLASS TO TEACH??? How much do you teachers get paid anyway??
DittyDiane - don't let MM get to ya. Ever since she got a new red coat in the Land of Huckabee, her pits have been itching fierce and she's a little ornery.
I never let her get to me. She is just jealous that I get paid so much to write on her blog. I don't teach I just help with naughty kids. Which I am doing as I type to you all. This 3rd grade boy didn't want to read because he didn't know the words. I gave the assistant a small bag of cheetos to give him while he read. I told him it was brain food and should help. He read the whole thing and told me thanks. I am good.
Clearly, you are a genius. I will copy that idea for sure.
I feed my daughters goldfish during swim class and tell the angels that goldfish crackers make one bouyant.
I totally believe in messing with kids' heads.
Every bloggers nightmare is for you 2 to bond.
Laura's main food groups are cheetos, doritoes, tootsie pops and Long Island Ice Teas.
Don't lose my spare tire in your carpet.
Clearly, you are jealous of my new friendship with Laura. That's so unfortunate. I hear jealousy makes flesh eating fungus grow all the faster. 0_0
