Now, I’m not trying to upstage Bumba here, but I may not be around much this next week, depending on how my trip to the emergency room tomorrow pans out. This isn’t about whatever thing I underwent last week. I’ve had a vascular ulcer (or two) on my leg(s) the past few weeks that I’ve been trying to treat like I’ve done before: compression stockings and raising the foot of the bed at night. But they’re not healing and, in fact, one is getting larger, little by little. If I can’t get my doctor to look at them before Christmas (the appointment I COULD make last week was for Dec 23!), I’m going to the ER tomorrow night and having them looked at. It’s possible they may decide to keep me for a few days or at least until they start to heal, if only to pump me full of antibiotics to take care of the cellulitis. So I will possibly be incommunicado internetwise after tomorrow afternoon.
It doesn’t suck as much as a heart attack, but yes, the whole situation is not much of a picnic. I’ll see if I can’t get supervenusfreak to make updates into next week’s MMP as warranted if I’m away for a bit.
jayjay, clearly you didn’t get the message. The quota of ailing MMPers has been met for this year! No more! That’s it! We’re done with this illness and hurting stuff!!!
So, now that that’s settled. Hope everything goes well.
Nice pottery FCM. I really like the ones you say are your favorites. Pretty color and shapes. The red ones are purty too. Oh and the light green one with the 6 thingies on it…
I had a busy day - went to my friend’s cookie party - lots of fun and good food. Oh and cookies.
Then I went shopping. Had to go to Williams-Sonoma and Crate & Barrel which are conveniently near my friend’s house. Procured a book, a pepper mill, a marinade and the usual unplanned item: a silicone brush for butter/marinade. That one was from C&B. Saw something similar at Bed, Bath and Beyond later, but it was more expensive there and the brush wasn’t as long. Go figure.
Amazingly, I got the most important things done this weekend. Not sure how I managed. Still have a few Christmas present things to do - notably get some pictures printed for Mom and get a couple of presents for work friends, but I’m not panicking just yet.
