ER Visit

Well today was an interesting day. I woke up at 3am with my foot throbbing. I stepped on a hot peice of charcoal on Wed. I thought it was healing just fine. I guess I thought wrong. My foot was throbbing and was red around the blister. I stumbled to the bathroom for some neosporin and a bandaid. I thought by the time Bella woke up I would be ok. I was scheduled to work in the nursery at church and we are so short staffed I hate to ever miss. Bella woke up at 7am and my foot was worse. When I saw I had red streaks coming from the blister and traveling up to my ankle I thought... hmmm.... I guess I should probably get this looked at.
I took Bella over to my mom's and journied to HEB Hospital. What a great experience considering the issue at hand. The nurses were so nice and there was no wait at all. The doctor even came in with a smile on his face and a pep in his step. Sure enough I had an infection. Since I have not had a tetanus shot since 8th grade I had to have another in the arm. Not too bad. I thought I was good to go. Then the nurse came in with a HUGE needle. " Please pull your pants down and yes this is going to hurt". WOW... Yes it did and still does hurt.
I am thankful for the staff and doctors that took care of me and had me in and out within an hour. I am thankful for the health insurance my company provides to me.
Note to self don't walk around barefoot. Oh and by the way, my foot would have been fine if I wasn't barefoot all day yesterday painting my bedroom furniture!!! So so shabby. Went from everything Oak to distressed white. When I came home from the hospital with my foot all bandaged up, I walked into my bedroom and though awww it was all worth it.
