a week in the life....

i've been complaining to my husband about not having anything interesting to talk about on my new blog. i warn all of you, Be Careful What You Wish For! i just spent the last week in the hospital. the good news, it's not spinal meningitis. the bad news, they still don't know what it is. all they can tell me is that it's some "unknown" viral infection and that it appears that my body is dealing with it on it's own.
to coin a phrase from fox mulder, i feel like i've "lost times." a whole week of my life was lost while in the confines of "st. dominic's " walls. I was poked with a needle so many time they ran out of places to poke me. the "aids" we're reduced to taking my vitals from my left calf because my arms were no longer of any use. due to the hospitals negligence, i'll be on blood thinners for 3 months in order to reduce a blood clot in my left forearm, which means my husband won't allow me to even cook dinner during this period because of my inability to handle a knife without cutting myself.
i've lost 2 weeks of work and i can't drink soda right now cause it burns when it goes down. and to top it all off i went to have blood drawn today to check my levels and was poked 3 times with no results. plus the antibiotic that is suppose to be improving my health is causing me a horribly itchy rash.

I just wanna thank dobee, my cousin, for taking time out of her life to take care of me for most of this week 'cause my husband dearly needed a break and i hope i can be there for her when she needs me. i know i'm not the most pleasant patient.

I just want things to go back to boring normal and i promise i won't complain about it this time.
