Sorry that I haven't written in a bit but I assure you that it was more out of unfortunate circumstances and busy schedule, not out of lack of things to write about. As I'm sure I mentioned, my family just recently moved before I started this blog, and finishing moving in to the house and settling into this new place has taken some time and unpacking but we're almost there(thank goodness!). What I didn't mention was that even before the first big move, I was sick.
I had a huge infection in my left leg that was causing me terrible pain and just in general misery. I got antibiotics and I thought everything was taken care of, but it came back. I have three large infected spots on my legs right now. I went to the doctor at the beginning of the week to get antibiotics again, and my new doctor here in town took cultures of the bacteria in my "wounds". They came back yesterday as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). That means that the bacteria is resistant to my antibiotics. The Doctor says that most likely what happened is that my original infection never went away, that the bacteria that survived the first round of antibiotics got stronger, multiplied and spread leading to this. So now, I get to start a whole new week and a half of antibiotics and hope it works. I'm tired of being sick, its ruined a lot of things. I get sick from my medicine, I'm tired all the time and I was planning to visit my dad next week but he can't be around infections. I'm sorry to complain..things really aren't that bad.
For instance, tomorrow my second oldest brother, Joe, is getting married. I'm so excited for him and his soon to wife, Luci. I can't wait for this joyous celebration and I'll be taking tons of pictures so I'll post those here soon. Until than, I'll talk to you later.
