So this week I finally got some answers re my current health situation….. Last week I asked was my holiday my undoing? Why I asked this is because when I got home from my holiday most of you will know I ended up very sick in bed for three weeks. It was said I had bronchitis/laryngitis/flu. However this week I discovered that a couple of months ago or maybe even longer (who knows, maybe way back then) I become MRSA positive or contracted the super bug! This means my body is resistant to a lot of the normal medications used to treat infections. Hence why maybe three rounds of antibiotics later from this above illness I still felt pretty crappy and really started going downhill from there! It also turns out to be the cause of the endless amount of boils/abscesses I’ve had and needed to go to ED and my Dr and nurse to be healed. My whole immunity is just run down, but now my doctor is pretty sure she is going to get it under control! Hallelujah with a lot of luck I might get right yet and it won’t come soon enough for me 🙄.
How I contracted this is uncertain, but it’s good to finally know and understand why things have been happening to my body and why my emotions have been so all over the place! Before you ask – no you won’t catch it from me – I know all the correct procedures to keep it away, but it’s still important for you to know and stay clean around me 😊. I carry sanistiser with me all the time now. So it’s fair to say that with two massive boils under my arm (one severely infected/ulcerated and the other being cut, drained and packed) I’ve had a relatively quiet week. It hurts to drive (although I still do drive so I don’t go completely nuts) and do a lot of other chores, but I’m meant to be minimising the use of my arm for a few days for it to heal quicker…. As I always 🙄 do as I’m told (NOT) the tv has been a good friend – loving watching some very old and new series 😂. Totally recommend ‘The Waltons’ (a real oldie, but a great story – by the way the real Jimbob is an angel compared to the ones I know), love ‘The Resident’ and this week ‘Army Wives’ has been a popular choice from me! I’m open to suggestions however, as it doesn’t take me long to get hooked lol 😂. Anyone have any favourites/recommendations on Netflix or just boxed sets? It’s a great time to have the odd tv day/early night with the weather so cold too ❄️☃️
Thursday and Friday I’ve spent time with those I love the most and chilling on the farm sucking in the air – there’s nothing better in this world! My usual routine has still been the same and this weekend has a lot going on with netball, rugby and a family dinner to belatedly celebrate our beautiful and loving mother’s birthday. Also great to have our big girl home for a few days to catch up with. Even though I’ve had a lot of ups and downs this week, I feel as though I’ve learnt a lot about myself. A lot of things have upset me, but I’m learning to cope – I just wish everyone understood 😊. Anyway I hope you’ve all had a good week and I’m feeling positive for the coming weeks now I have a bit of an understanding and handle on myself…..
Au revoir
