MSR
Multi strain resistant bacteria. That might be why the current anti-biotic is not pulling in the infection like it should. So says my husband. So, today we get to go on Bactrim. Goody goody. This just never ends! I try to rest and keep away from stress so the healing can go faster but that is hard to do with a full time job and Thanksgiving and Christmas knocking at the door. I was hoping it would be healed by Wednesday so when I go in to see a Doc she can cut it out. Now I think it will just end up being a consult. *BIG SIGH*. This means I have to wait Lord knows how long for it to heal and then probably miss school to go in and have it done. Tick tock, tick tock. If you get a cyst, get it cut out. Don't wait!
At least this distracts me from the other thing going on. I have an appt. Friday with the Gynecologist. More fun! I just can't get enough of Mayo! :(
Friday I was dead tired and Rachel asked us to watch Max. I am beginning to dread Fridays because I am usually so tired all I want to do is go to bed and yet the house is a mess and there are so many things to do. It is usually the only night Jon and I can do anything with Basketball tournaments and Honors Choirs events eating up our Saturdays. I just feel very frustrated by it all. I would also love to have Max but instead it was very much a chore. The house was a mess, he was cranky and I was exhausted. Poor little guy is cutting teeth and also well into the "I want mommy" stage. He wouldn't have anything to do with Grandpa so this old broken down Grandma got to tote him everywhere which did not help the cyst any.Yesterday I had a scone and tea with Tracy, went walking and then went to the store with her to get a Turkey and other things they usually run out of if you don't get them now! She saw her son and her Ex which was unexpected and I saw one of my students. He came running up to me and buried his head into my side for a hug. Right on the cyst! As he is chanting "Mrs. Baines, Mrs. Baines!" with glee I am reeling from the pain! It felt like an electric jolt went through me and I thought I might pass out. Yikes! I survived. Tracy and I were reminded at how seeing someone you don't expect can really take you off your guard. I would hate to run into my ex anywhere and even though I know that is impossible as he live in another state, your mind is still wary. This *is* the Mayo Clinic and really anyone could end up here at any time. I am just hoping that someday it is Johnny Depp that comes around that corner and runs into me! ;)
Tracy and I had a nice lunch at Noodles and then we got ready to go get our family pictures done. Max was really good for this.I went home and grabbed a nap and then got up and did a few chores before Rhi's Harvest to Holiday Benefit for Honors Choirs. It was fun to get dressed up and bid on cool basket gifts and then watch Rhi sing. The last time we did this was two years ago right before our friends left for Texas. We found a Texas basket as a gift for them and the irony was that it was put together by their Doc who is also from Texas. Yee haw!I found a really cute handmade quilt for Max, a beautiful hand quilted table runner and a gift basket for someone else. It was a really nice evening. One of my favorite things to do with our new salary is to donate to worthy causes. This Thanksgiving looks to be just our family and Tracy. It doesn't look like Jon's mom can come for Christmas either so it may be just us for Christmas too. The weather has been great although I am about ready for snow. I am having Phoenix flashbacks! It is partly cloudy and @50 degrees. Very unseasonable for Minnesota. Jon will be both mowing the lawn today and putting up Christmas lights! Then there is the Vikings game....
