It's not a road trip without a trip to the ER
Seriously! I am now just documenting our crazy adventures for my soon to be book of our adventurous life!!! This is way past blogging. These are now reminders of how crazy our life can be at times.
Warning: The following material may be too hard for some of you to stomach. Also, anyone who has been around me, do not fear you are not to worry. The boys and Dan are fine. It is only me. I am being overly cautious now.
I noticed my stomach was bleeding the night before we were set to leave for our vacation. Odd I thought. More like....What the heck is that??????? Is that blood? I thought it was a new shingle or something related. I bandaged it and decided to keep the plans with the vacation. It continued on and became worse the next day on the road trip. Very painful. So when we hit San Diego, the night before leaving for Disneyland, ER here we come. Turns out I have MRSA. A type of staph infection. NOT EVEN KIDDING!!!!!!! Turns out I never had shingles. The whole time I had this MRSA. I was almost admitted to the hospital that night. But the Dr assured me with lots of hand washing and keeping everything sanitary, I would be good to not spread it. Not to mention the 2 antibiotics I take 6 times a day and pain pills....cuz you know flesh eating bacteria. VERY PAINFUL! I will not go into detail. But the ER experience was horrible.
Everything is under control though. Thanks to a very helpful Grandma, a husband of the year, and the staff of the Disneyland Hotel, I was very well taken care of. Most of the pain is gone. And the wound is healing.
As soon as I return back home I am going to see my dermatologist. I am due for a skin cancer check up and he will also continue to treat the MRSA. I will keep you posted.
MI VIDA LOCA! Welcome to my crazy life!
