Before

This seems like the best way to share what is going on when it goes on when I can.

I hope to make a radio show too.

The Infected Leg

I had bedbugs awhile ago and it sucked. I had scratched some of those itches and two got infected. One now looks like a small gaping hole. At first my leg swelled up to my ankle, I was limping, and the pain was so great by morning I was sure I would be a dinosaur. But I awoke and got to a clinic where they acted appropriately and gave me a strong injection which I am lucky I didn't have an allergic reaction to. Then they gave me antibiotics - 12 pills a day - obscene. I couldn't possibly do it. I have a problem swallowing pills when I am supposed to. My throat says no i don't feel like a swallow right now. Something with a fear of choking. (I have a choking story too that I will not share cause I think it's scary.)

Alot was going on at that time. I had visitors and other obligations. I couldn't deal with swallowing those pills. At first I crushed them. But that was gross. So I pleaded with the Doctor and as doctors can be she was. Said I need to take my medicine. Right, so I begged for more injections.

Anyhow it was getting better and then I traveled. Now it's just stupidly being stubborn. And now I can't even take my once a week malaria. But as everyone around is coming down with it I'm crushing it.

Oh and the Peace Corps nurse wants pictures of it cause another volunteer just had one and was sent to South Africa and almost had to have his leg amputated. Mine isn't that bad. Truly.

Whipped Cream

I have a huuuuuggggeee craving for this. I have reoccurring dreams. Sometimes every night. What is my major malfunction?
