I hate how our schedules are planned out to the last minute that we don't have "time" for unexpected things to happen. On Thursday I started to develop a small, what I thought was a boil, on my inner thigh. Well it would appear that as the weekend went on this we'll call it a "boil" for now, continued to get larger. As of last night it had gotten to about 3 or 4 inches in diameter and had formed a rather large red ring of infection around it. It got to the point where I could hardly walk, I could hardly sit or do anything without being in extreme pain. So we decided at 8:30 last night to go to the ER. We were thankful that we went. They said I had something called cellulitis where the cellular tissue gets inflamed and infected. They gave me a shot of antibiotic, a pill antibiotic and 2 pain pills and sent me home and told me to follow up with my family doctor. I called my family doctor today and he wanted to see me today. So I took a doctor's note into school and was excused from school for the day, thankfully because I could not have sat in those hard plastic chairs! The doctor ended up cutting the cellulitis open, draining it and packing it leaving it open to heal. I go back on Thursday to get it rechecked. Let's hope and pray that the antibiotics take care of it and that it goes away so I don't have to have anything else done.
Sorry the blog updates have been so sparce, school has been super busy and I have not had much down time. I will update more about everything else hopefully later this week! Thank you all for your continued prayers!
