You ever hear of the Brothers Grimm? Totally interesting dark spin on your favorite fairytales. Those who know me, know I embrace the twisted and darker side of things-to a degree! I love horror and dark stories-Brothers Grimm sorda morbid sorda strange but they say the things most of us are too afraid to. What would happen if not every fairy tale was what it should be?
Point being I’m throwing a pity party here. As previously mentioned, surgery was Tuesday, June 30th. I was off all week after and barely able to sit still. I indulged in cleaning my apartment in a way I don’t think I’ve ever been able to. It was like a strange addiction scrubbing the walls and doorways and smelling that fresh smell even in a house full of children and cats. I only stopped when the cramping and bleeding showed as a subtle reminder that my body still needs to rest. Still I had laundry to do and rooms to clean since we go on vacay next week.
Yesterday while doing laundry my arm started bugging me and I had a moment where I thought sh*t I overdid it. I go back to work tomorrow and hurt my arm today. Go me! However, the day continued and I could feel tenderness in my arm under where my one loyal vein is. I could literally feel the bouncy vein through my skin. Second thought okay I need to drink more water I’m dehydrated.
Today my arm is tender hurts to just be in a normal position and….wait what is that redness? I’m gonna get checked out God forbid it’s a blood clot from the IV. Took my tired and sore booty to the ER. Doctor takes one look at my arm and says see this redness? You have an infection from where they put your IV in your arm. Wait what? “We’re putting you on the highest dosage of antibiotics to avoid hospitalization….”
Pity party engaged, Brothers Grimm writing my recovery story. Another cruel piece added to this chapter of my life. As I struggle to understand why this is happening. So if I didn’t decide to go get checked out this could’ve been so much worse.
Okay silver lining time everyone-I’m okay. Physically okay. I will be okay. Emotionally okay.
I have my baby girls and I’m alive❤️
