Hi everyone!! Boy have I missed you!

I had my 1st day back at the office yesterday - weird being back (good & bad being back too). Had dinner last night w/ the cousins from Argentina at Benihana - good time w/ good laughs.

Today we had a visit from the rep for the hotels where we get to stay in next month in London scared1: can't believe I leave 3 weeks from Friday!!) Trying to make plans as to what I'm going to do.

Marlene & I are trying to finalize stuff for the Vancouver portions of our Alaska cruise too. BTW - next year I WILL NOT be taking this many vacations!!! I HAVE TO go back down to 1 big one per year!

I'm not going to focus on any 1 post (incase I forget someone) so...I'll just say s, (prayers) & (pd) to all

I hear ya, Mon. I'm saying the same thing. I'm exhausted from being away in October still and I have already done the Dream and I'm prepping to do the LA/Alaska. It's a lot and it's too much.

Now, let's hope that next year's one big one is HAWAII!!!!!!! We should be hearing soon. UGH! More deposit money....cha ching!!!! Whatever it is, it's worth it. I'll be on that boat!!!!

Well... mom looks like a prize fighter tonight!!!

she had a small lesion removed from her eyelid yesterday... they thought it might be cancer, but now they don't think it was anything like that. She's hoping that the biopsy comes back clean because she's decided that they got enough and can live with the rest. Otherwise she has to go back to the Dr. who did her MOHS surgery and go through all of that.

We ventured out tonight for Chinese food. Cabin fever has set in...

Deposit money, I hear ya! It will be a long time before I'll be able to come up with that. The upcoming LA and AK tapped me dry. But we soooooo need this Disney fix, so it's totally worth it.

Michelle, I hope it turns out to be nothing. Hugs to you and Mom.

I'm a medical mystery right now. A trip to urgent care, super antibiotic shot, strong daily antibiotics given to take daily, extreme pain, and will be back to see the doctor at 8am.

Wednesday morning I woke up hours before my alarm clock feeling like I'd slept with my right earlobe kinked or something. When I finally got up and saw myself in the bathroom, I knew something was wrong. My lower earlobe was swollen, red and huge, my lymph node on that side was the size of a golf ball, so I assumed a spider bit me while I was sleeping. It was so painful and throbbing, I left work sometime early morning to run out and ft some Benadryl, thinking I was having an allergic reaction to the supposed spider bite. Got worse throughout the day, Benadryl did nothing, it kept swelling and spreading. When I started feeling nauseous and shakey, I knew I had to get to a doctor. My doctor couldn't get me in yesterday, so I went right to urgent care.

I kept swelling on the way. By the time I got there, I had a temp of 102, my whole outer ear was swollen and red, in front of my ear it was red and swollen spreading to my cheek, I was no longer nauseous, but very dizzy and while I was with the doctor I felt it start to move to my inner ear. The doctor saw no bite marks, no scratch, no sore of any kind and was at a loss. Because of how fast it's spreading and how large my lymph node is, he told me he's worried that it might move into my bones or brain, so he told me I absolutely have to follow up with my regular doctor in the morning so they can explore other options if I haven't started improving. He told me the shot he gave me is such a strong antibiotic and so is the oral one, so strong that he said it should stop the progression of the infection in it's tracks. It has not. The spreading has slowed, but the swollen areas have swollen lots more and it's now affected my hearing. So I will be at the doctor's office when it opens.

Went to bed at 7pm because whatever's going on wore me out. Just got up now to get more Benadryl. This is freaky how it came out of nowhere. Wish me luck please.

OMG HOLLY.....I'm VERY concerned about this for you. This does NOT sound good. I can't believe how fast it came upon you and how quickly it's getting worse. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers every minute of the day tomorrow until we hear back from you that the doctor diagnosed it and you're on the mend. Hugs and Love sweetie. Keep us posted please.

Thanks Deb. I'm sure there must be a logical explanation.

My temp is down to 99, probably because of Tylenol doing it's job, but the rest is freaky. My co-workers watched it spread throughout she 1/2 day I was at work and they were totally freaked out. It's bizarre, and it worried me to hear the doctor have no clue.

Benadryl is kicking in, so I'm headed back to sleep for another 4 hours until it wears off again, then it will be a short time until the doctor's office opens at 8.

Sweet Mickey Dreams.....I hope you're able to get some good sleep and then that doctor knows what it is and fixes it.

Goodness me Holly,that sounds and so very strange. I hope it has settled by the time you get up.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Holly, tell them to test for cellulitis. I had it in my ear once and it's a lot like you're describing. Anyway, I'm thinking of you and wishing you results and a cure.

 

[HollyTyler]

No Marilyn, it's worse. Sitting at the doctor's office now waiting to be seen.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Marilyn....you must be packing soon. I hope you have a safe trip back.

Today is doctor day.....GP, female doctor, mamo, all annual check ups. I still hate the doctor....all of them....and any medical procedures. At least I get them all over with in one day.

Holly, I'll be thinking of you and waiting for some results.

Good Luck and BIG HUGS. Let us know as you as you do. Lots of Pixie Dust!!!!!!

Yuck Deb, sorry you have to do all that today.

Thanks. It's extremely painful and throbbing. I tried to eat a banana this morning but the movement of chewing was too painful because whatever is going on has spread that far. My office manager at work told me to ask if it's a staph infection. I hope not!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Yuck Deb, sorry you have to do all that today.

Yup Marilyn. I hate today, but once it's done....then I'm finished with them for another year. Oh well. Guess I better jump in the shower.

Holly, I'll be checking on my Droid today to hear an update from you.

 

[katypop]

Holly, sending hugs and pixie dust Hope by now the doctor has it figured out and you will get the appropriate treatment and feel better quickly. How scary



Deb, hugs and pixie dust to you too. Hope the day is over with before you know it. You deserve a special treat at the end of the day to reward yourself for getting through it all
