Joys of working while sick
On May 8, 2007 I had a small surgery to remove a benign tumor from my left thigh. I was prepared to sail through the surgery, and anticipated a very quick recovery, only staying off my feet minimally.
This was not to be.
On May 14 I discovered the incision had become infected, I was in tremendous pain and running a fever. When I saw the doctor the next day at my scheduled appointment, only some of my stitches were removed, the doctor said the other's 'weren't ready'. I was placed on a very strong antibiotic, and pain medicine. And ordered off my feet for a week.
Now, after the second doctor's appointment yesterday, I am still infected, still running a fever, still in pain, and must remain off my feet for nearly another week.
Oh... joy...
Thank heavens for modern technology. As I type this, I am reclining
(somewhat) on the couch, using my laptop - which is logged into my
desktop through my remote access software of choice - I'm InTouch.
I have my planner, notebooks, Logitech Pen, and various cups, bottles,
snacks, and my blanket (thank you so much for the beautiful blanket
Clare Fyffe!) and of course my phones and remote controls. Remarkebly,
I'm able to still work reasonably well.
As you can see from the picture, I'm hanging in there.
Thank you Everyone for your cheerful messages, e-cards and phone calls (Janet, Janice and Liz!)! You're really helping to keep up my spirits!
Have a great day!
