By The Foot...

September 19, 2002

I tried to write a long entry earlier today about what was going on with Chuck and his foot, but it went bye bye and I don't know why it didn't upload, but I didn't realize it until much later, so I didn't save it.. and well it's gone. So here I am again, hours later, but I still don't feel like retelling it all. I will give a condensed version though. Let's see, he went into the ER the other night because he had pain in his foot, and it was starting to swell, much like it did when he was in the hospital back in July for that foot infection. The infection is back, and not so great. It hasn't gotten into his blood this time, which is good, and a bone scan showed that it's not in the bone like they thought it might be, so that is good too.. however, they might have to cut part of his foot off, which isn't so good. That was the news earlier today.

I just talked to Sherry (after I started writing this), and they had another specialist (actually one from the Center for Infectious Disease Control), and they think that Chuck might respond to a very tough round of antibiotics, and they may let him go home tomorrow, and do it from home. If it works, they are going to do a small surgery, and shave the bone a little bit, although I am not sure I understand why.. but it's to avoid this from happening again. Worst case scenerio is that he won't respond to the antibiotics and they will have to remove his little toe and about 2 inches underneath. I was upset for him when I heard, but he surprisingly is making jokes and in great spirits.. he told me.. I just hope they don't charge me by the foot. That man, lol. Hopefully the antibiotics will work though, and that will be that.

So, I was so totally excited about Survivor starting tonight. Cory asked me to join this survivor pool that she was in with her family last year. I loved watching her progress in it last year, so I was so totally excited that she asked me. I got a cool person too, Ken. So watch him if you will, and hope he wins for me, lol. I didn't get to watch it yet since I had to babysit and I didn't get home until almost 8, but I taped it and I am going to watch it after ER is over. I still need to pack for tomorrow, and it's going to be a long day, so I should try to get some sleep.. yah, I might do it all, lol.

When Sherry called she asked me to pick the girls up tomorrow after the crop.. um, I won't be there until 1 in the morning.. that's okay she says... yah, for you maybe.. but ok.. at least I can sleep late on Saturday. I am thinking that tomorrow is going to be my day off from working out this week too, so that I can sleep that extra hour and a half.. maybe that will help. I am so excited about tomorrow and our crop though. It's going to be SOOOO much fun. I am still packed half way from going to work at Jess' house the other night too, so really it shouldn't be that hard to pack.

We went to my MILs for dinner tonight, and then she had a get together to go to. Well Michelle had asked her to babysit cause she is working, so my MIL asked me if we could stay and watch them when she left, until Gerald got there. I didn't mind.. we just taped survivor and I had a good time with the kids. James, Amy and I were playing games in the front yard.. running around, playing tag and all that sorta thing, and I really loved every minute of it.

Okay, off to get stuff ready for tomorrow, watch the rest of ER, then Survivor (GO KEN) and then going to bed. Goodnight!

Daily Tidbits

1. Our first exam at work is Monday, but we have some students taking it tomorrow. I have so much to do for that still.. the first exam is the hardest, because there is so much I have to prepare for the first time, that I don't have to for the rest because it's already done.. I can get thru this, lol. And without killing my boss.. now that is the hard part!!!
2. I got up early this morning and went to workout.. and then on the way to work, Stephen asks me.. how come you didn't go workout today? I was like huh.. you must be kidding.. I did go, so glad I was missed, lol. I was laughing, what a goof.
