I’ve Been Shot In The Ass – Twice!

Sadly, it’s true – two double taps, that is. With antibiotics. Ouch!

The poison ivy worsened to the point of allowing a really stubborn cellulitis infection to develop. The first group of antibiotics didn’t do the job, so three trips to the doctor, two different oral antibiotics, four injectable antibiotics, and prolonged dosages of oral steriods later, I’m showing some improvement. By the Rule of Nines, a quick system used by medical personnel for estimating the extent of burns on patients, I have about 12% total body involvement with this poison ivy rash. Serious by any measure.

The good news is that I have the World’s Greatest Doctor. She sees me when I tell her I really need to be seen, listens to everything I have to say, writes excellent instructions, and follows up. She is, quite literally, my lifesaver.

God is providing for me and teaching me patience. And I’m learning.
