This has been a bad week for me, first the pedestrian near miss, the seatbelt fiasco and now this! Sunday eve., I was running around my house and yard, doing laundry, washing my Jeep and packing for my Colorado trip. I was taking a load out to the motorhome and ran into the ladder on the back. I got overbalanced, (I'm such a klutz, those of you that know me will agree) and had to jump off into the yard to regain my footing. Of course I was barefooted! You would expect nothing less from someone who does not wear a seatbelt! LOL! Well, I jumped into a sticker patch! I had 25 to 30 stickers in each foot! And I had a heavy load of stuff that I immediately dropped all around me on the ground. I'm standing there, trying to decide which foot to pick up and pick stickers out of first and thinking, boy this hurts! And then, you're so stupid.... Well, I picked all the stickers out of each foot and 2 of them broke off in my foot. I go in and try to get them out, nope. I soak my foot, nope. I go to work on Mon., come home and try to get them out, nope. So today I go to my doc. He had to CUT my foot to get them out! It hurt like a insert inappropriate term here! Worse than when I was walking on it. And, it was infected already!!!! They were a quarter of an inch long and probably full of cat poop! Now I have to take antibiotics and soak my foot 3 times a day in peroxide and water! So, I am supposed to leave on my vacation Friday morning. I still have packing and shopping to do. And I'm crippled. This is a 10 day camping and Jeeping trip so there is a lot of stuff to pack. I have to drive 10 hours with a sore foot. So, what did I learn? Wear some sort of footwear whn you are outside! Sorry I'm ranting but that's what family is for, right? I am soooooo stupid.......... ARGH!!!!!
