Im ready for Spring....
Lets Get Ready To Rumble!!....
Not really but thats they way I have been feeling lately. Just seems like too much going on but yet its nothing at all. The last two weeks have been a whirlwind. We have a sort of illness going around and its not very pleasant. Last week Monday there was no school. It was a relaxing day off considering the pain my foot has been in. I really just want to knaw it off like a racoon caught in a trap. Its really undescribable unless you have had this happen to yourself. Trust me, heel spurs are not something you want to play with.
I had gone back to the doctor and had it checked out again. I have my xrays on a disk to take with me to a specialist. Yeah, its gone this far now. My doctor can no longer treat me with it. The one on the left is very sharp and long. It looks like a big hook. So think of it as walking on a shark tooth stuck in your foot and you can probably imagine something of what I feel. The right foot is the one that I want cut off. The spur in there is thicker and more blunt. Its like walking on a rock. But by the end of the day, it feels like a hot coal with a piece of cut glass in it. The pain is so bad that when I walk, I tend to shift off the heel and this in turn causes my ankles to swell and strain/sprain. Its not a walk in the park.
So on Friday I will be seeing a specialist with my xrays in hand. Im really hoping something more can be done. Not only is it painful, but Im damn tired of wearing ugly shoes. Yes, I will admit that Crocs are comfortable but they are the ugliest things I have ever seen. The other thing that sucks is that it is Winter and Crocs have holes all through them. Try walking through a snowbank in sandals and you will know what I mean. They do make boots but I cant afford them. Yeah, boo hoo. I havent won the lottery yet.
So Monday was a nice day off to stay off my foot. Tuesday was a wild day. Cami wasnt feeling all that well and gave me hell about it all morning. I couldnt miss work because there was a big deal going on in the classroom with a meeting so I had to be there. I wont leave my teacher hanging. Also on Tuesday, we got frogs. Yep, frogs. They came a couple of weeks late but at least they showed up. There is only one problem though. Its too frelling cold in the classroom. When I went to put them into the habitat, the water in there was like ice. Its too cold. So I reset the the temp in all the tanks and put them in. They are so cute and I hope they do make it because I want to bring a few of them home.
Wednesday was a rough day. Cami really is not feeling well and spent the whole morning in the bathroom. She feels warm and I know its a low grade fever. We didnt go to school and spent the day in bed resting and trying to get better. We attempted school again on Thursday but she really wasnt up to her full potential and the evening was pretty much blah for her.
Friday morning was a complete mess. Her stomach flu had taken a toll on us and we both felt really sick. For her it was coming out of both ends and I decided that a trip to the doctor is now necessary. They confirmed that it was indeed a virus and nothing to do but let it run its course. It could be a day or it could be a week. Oh the joy. So once again, we spent the day back in bed, reading and watching cartoons all day. But at least its the weekend and she can be able to rest more.
She is eating a little here and there and she has no problem drinking fluids so Im not too worried. Saturday she was not on her medications so that her body could have a break. She tends to eat more when shes off the meds. I figured this would help her alot. It did help her in that aspect but she was also climbing the walls. I went to class Saturday because it would be the last time we would get to hang out with Juan. He was moving back to California soon and he was showing us some of his techniques with copper wire. I was also not letting him leave without making something for me. I gave him a couple of my favorite crystals and he said he would work on something for me after he got home for the night.
When I got home, my hands were killing me. The wire was too stiff for me to handle with the pliers I had. I needed some heavy duty ones and I didnt have them. But the piece I made wasnt too bad. I need to finish it though. Cami was still awake. She was tired but she was also still hyper. Something happened though. I thought I had settled her down in bed but that wasnt to be.
I was sitting here at my desk and I was sorting through some beads. Not really looking out the doorway. I could hear this crinkling sound. Like the sound that stiff tissue paper makes. I look out the doorway and no one is there. The kitchen light is off. I thought maybe the cat was playing with one of her toys. Then a few minutes later I heard the sound again. This time I looked around my room and saw that my cat was sleeping on my bed. So was my dog. Hmmmm.....
I stood up and looked out into the kitchen. I didnt see anything. I didnt hear anything. I figured that while I was up, I will get a drink. I walked over to the fridge and I heard a thump. I have a center Island in the kitchen. I put my cup down and I went to the wall and turned the light on. I walked back to the fridge and I heard the thump again. Only thing time I looked down. I caught the sight of the bottoms of two pink slippers going around the corner at the other end of the island.
I walked over and cleared my throat. She was on her hands and knees with two chocolate chip muffins in her hand. She stood up and handed one to me and told me she was saving that one for me because she loves me. I took that one away and she said that she was hungry. Who was I to deny her something to eat? And she loves me. But its also 11:00pm and she shouldnt be having sugar at this late. But really, I didnt care. So I split the muffin, put some butter on it and sent her back to bed. One muffin was enough. I put the other one back in the bag and put them away. It really was funny though. Sneaky little snot.
Sunday morning rolls around and Juan is conducting his last class today. I went to the shop to see what he has created with my crystals. When I got there he was still working with the class and he had started the piece but still needed to put it all together. What he had though was amazing. I was blown away. After his class, he finished my necklace and I was near to tears at how beautiful it was. I will say to him now, Thank you Juan, for everything and I hope to see you back in the summer.
Monday morning comes. We are off to school but Cami still isnt feeling all that well. I cant miss any more work and its hard to do this. But at least Im there. So if shes still sick, then the nurse can send her home and its legal for me. I went to my class and got to work on all the stuff that I missed the week before. I made sure all the homework was set and that all the paperwork that was needed was done. I felt really bad for not being there on Friday.
But there was a sad moment. Since our classroom is so cold, we lost the frogs. They are went to the big lilypad in the sky. I was really saddened by this. It galls me that the classroom has to be so cold and they know we have live animals in there. These are for our science lesson. How are the kids supposed to learn something when all the animals are dead? The crabs are still alive but for how long? This just irritates me.
I was just finishing up some stuff when I get a page that Cami is in the nurses office and that she needs me. I rush down there and she has a high temp. 101 to be exact. I have to take her home. I feel so bad leaving everyone in such a bind. I pack everything up and get all my stuff done. I told my teacher that I was leaving. I really felt bad.
After we got home, I called the doctor again and they said that there wasnt much that could be done because it was viral. If shes still sick in a couple of more days, then they will have to test her for dehydration and do blood work. Shes not dehydrated and shes been eating. Its just coming out her butt like a faucet. Digested. No Im not to worry. I gave her some Tylenol and we lounged around for the day.
Tuesday was a fun day. I have pretty much given up on parking in the back lot. There is never any spots open. So Im parking out front. I dont care what they say anymore. Im tired of it. I know they are doing alot of work out there. I know that this is something that wont be forever. But Im also told that this is the situation for the rest of the school year. Im wondering what they will do in the spring with the kids for recess. The playground is pretty much blocked off. Not my problem but I still wonder.
Tuesday night we had a snow storm. This is supposed to be a major whopper. Snow, ice and freezing rain. Poor Jade got wholloped where she is. She got it all the day before. I havent heard from her so I hope all it well there. She seems to have the worst luck with these storms.
The call came in at just before 6am that there is no school for Wed. Im really surprised by this because we normally dont get this many snow days. And being that its still January. It was another good day to stay warm inside and let my foot and Cami's stomach rest. Im just wondering what tomorrow will bring.
