Points And Prizes - Sheknows

Good Morning and thanks for all the words! I repped were I could.

The kids are at my place this week so the first thing they did was go swimming when they got home and again after the DD soccer game. They are all finished school now! Today they are going to see the RCMP musiacal ride with a friend.

I finally am posting although I can rep at all! ... Its been very hectic and scarey for the past 13 days. I have cellustis (SP) it is a very very nasty and dangerous bacterial skin infection! I have been through h.ll and back again thru my lifetime, but let me warn you this has got to be the most painful thing I have ever ever had! We can't even pinpoint how I got it! I woke up one morning with a sore foot, a little red, thought I had bruised it during the nite. Went to work for one day ... the foot just "killed me", took my shoe off that night and freaked! over half my foot was glaring red and swollen. Went to emerg, sat for a very long time (filled with flu cases ... I was ready to run home and hide, figured it was safer there! lol) Glad I got in though, thank goodness the Dr. on call knew what she was talking about ! Run 1 blood test and came back with the results! They put me on a very powerful combo antibotic! if it didn't step the spread only recourse was IV antibotic. Went thru 30 T-3 in 3 days, oh my "gut" the pain didn't stop but I figured I'd have no tummy left if I kept up with the pain killers, and they were only helping for about 1 hour (and that's taking 2 a time!). If it doesn't clear in next few days Im to go back to emerg and go on IV. I still can't get my slippers on, never mind shoes. Thank goodness I purchased nice leather sandles last year with velcour straps all over the place .. can't stand anything touching my skin.Well the red has gone down but not completely disappeared. Foot still swollen but not as bad as before. If not clear by end of week, I back to emerg. Its still scarey, waiting ... and to really give me grief .......... dh was home "sick" for the past 10 days (kidney stone pain) so he claims!!! anyone needed to drop in and cry my woes! lol Missed ya all! Im laying low for a few more days!

Sorry to hear about your foot, hope it gets better soon. Where are you from? Just wondering because my brother was just in for the same kind of thing but he was on the IV antibotics for a week!!!! They thought he might have that flesh eating thing. He doesn't know how it started either. He is in SW Ontario.

CASTRATION worth 100 points good through 7/22/09

LOL that's a funny one

Something that should happen to every EX.


I looked into getting my eyes done a while ago and it was $2,000 an eye everything included. You can get done for cheaper, but then the meds and follow-up appointments are not included. Also the place I looked into was the one with the best rep. Dang if I can remember what it was called now, getting to old.

Here is a Health Canada website with some info.

Alrighty so i came home from work yesterday and my back got really itchy so I scratched it like mad. It was itchy all day yesterday but I figured it was from the heat but I came home from work tonight and all last night it was flipping itchy so of course what do I do scratch it. Well I came home from work and got into my pjs and start scratching again but noticed that little bumps have came up all over my back (but no where else on my body).

I dont feel like going to the doc to argue with him so Ill get your opinion first and then tell the doc what I want

Hmmm Ricki, that kind of thing is always a hard one.. it could really be a million things. Have you changed detergents, or even fabric softeners? New Clothes? New medications?
It can also be stress induced. Lots of people would come into the emergency room saying "I know it has to be something strange because it only came up in (Fill in body area) spot, and no where else!" but that just means that is the area your body chose to inflame.
If you can think of anything you changed recently, that might be a culprit. But sometimes it is just your body being mean to you.

I would try a soak in a bathtub full of warm water with lots of baking soda dissolved in it. Or buy one of those cheap .99-1.69 packets of Aveeno soak from Shoppers. You can usually find it in the aisle near the anti-itch creams/remedies, if not ask the pharmacist where it is located at. They will know what you mean.

Good morning!!

Thanks for the words everyone

I get to hear my baby today ... so excited. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is having to talk about my toe with the doctor. Last year I did a 60km walk in two days. I was good right up until the very end when I bashed my toe off a steel barrier. My toe nail ended up falling off, but the one that grew back is more ingrown than the one that I ripped off!! Every time I touch it or stub it or Tyler walks into it, it sends shooting pain into my ankle.

I can't remember who was asking about the eye surgery .... DH had his eyes done with Lasik (I think) almost 4 years ago. He paid $6000 for it, but that included absolutely everything, and there is a lifetime warranty on his eyes. So, if they get worse than what he is guaranteed, then he can get a touch up done free of charge for life. He's very happy with the results. I am too. He has none of the side effects that can happen (nighttime glare is the biggest one). He had to have the surgery done the old-school way, though because of the slope on one of his eyes. It was too steep to keep the flap that they peel away, so his healing time was about a week longer than most people's.

As for the fillings, zoodle. I had two fillings done once. They were fine at first, but about two weeks later the one really started to hurt. The dentist used the white filling on me, but it turns out that the tooth was having a negative reaction to the filling so I had to get the silver one put in as a replacement. Now I have no issues with my fillings.

Hope everyone has a great day!!
