it's been awhile...

we made it through Easter...

it has been a long winter for us...

we took turns being sick through most of it...

trying to get back on my feet and I ended up over doing it...

had upper respiratory infections, bronchitis...

went back to my NP for one more round of antibiotics to kick it out for good...

got a shot of Recephia in the butt...

now I have had this shot many times before...
but...
this last time went bad...

we had just gotten home and I had a severe allergic reaction to it...

DH ran me back up to the Dr's office, I called before we left to make sure they were still there...
we were the last ones in there before lunch...
they were just about to head out of the door...
and my NP recognized my phone number and answered it...
she came running out with both hands full when we pulled into the parking lot...
a shot in the butt and an epi pen in the arm...
my throat closed 3 times while they were working on me...
but Jesus opened it up every time...
Casey, my NP, said I needed the ER and I nodded...
they called the ambulance and of course I knew these paramedics...
(toy drive)
and away we went...
I finally started breathing easier when we got to the hospital...
I had to stay and hour and a half to make sure it was over and nothing else was going to happen...
it didn't...
but now I can take nothing in the penicillin family at all...
:(
then Jody has been here and gone...
she stayed 3 weeks again...
yep, she was here when this happened...

spring is happening...
over did my exercises so I could play outside and ticked off my knees...
especially the left one...
NP gave me water pills and some kind of cream in a big tube...
and that stuff works...
only had to take the water pill one day so far...
been out working outside the last 2 days...

its a down day today...
its been a pretty boring winter...
missed you, too...
