I woke up this morning with an ear infection of all things! No one has been sick in our family, so who knows (it was the first week with kiddos at work). I thought it was possibly starting earlier in the week, but I hoped that it would go away - no luck w/that happening. I managed to see a doctor this morning and got medicine ... let's hope that it kicks in soon. This is NOT the week for me to be sick. There is pain and a stuffy feeling in the ear now. The doctor said it could take the better part of a week to subside, but I'm praying that he is aiming on the high side.
The foot MRI went fine on Friday morning. Really long, but I got the films all on disk which makes transporting them easier. I confirmed all the appointments this week and made sure we are taking the necessary medical records. We are staying with a friend in Richardson, TX the first night and then a friend in Arlington, TX the last two nights. I need to finalize questions that I want/need to ask the TX doctors and try and consolidate my "foot story" into a 3-4 min. version.
I have a big school meeting (600 potential new students) & am delivering lunch to 30 teachers on Wednesday and then need to be rested going into the Dallas trip. Pray that the ear thing subsides, that sleep will come easily this week and for wisdom/guidance for the new docs (Dr. C, Dr. E, & Dr. R) ... all new initials!
Trying to relax this weekend ... got a pedicure today in honor of "all eyes on the foot" this week.
Love & hugs,
je

Ohmigosh....that is SOOOOO you to have gotten a fresh pedi- for the trip to TX! Gotta look your best for the eyes that will be upon your diseased appendage, girl! Will DEFINATELY pray for the ear infection. It DOES bite that it came on the week of the trip! Begone with you, otitis..., you pesky pressure-causing entity! And I literally laughed out loud when you talked about your foot story being condensed into a 3-4 minute version -- whatEVER, Jen...how can 17+ procedures be condensed into anything less than 20 minutes? Good LUCK with that! Kidding...what I MEANT was: I'll pray 'bout that, too! Encouragements to you this fine fall day...and wasn't it? L Jo
I was thinking about your attempts to summarize your foot story...perhaps you should utilize something like the dewey decimal system used at local libraries to track the in-s and out-s of thousands of pages of information...just like your medical record! You MAY want to look into that! Thinking 'bout you this afternoon. L Jo
