A Wrinkle In Time

So, the last couple of weeks or so I have been sick in one way or another. It started with an angry, itchy virus on my torso. Having had had cancer at a young age my immune system is somewhat diminished, and my lymphatic system is well..troubled, so when the doctor at the "Doc in the box" game me steroids, it cleared up the angry, red, itchy bumps but left my immune system , well as lack for a better word, dead. So I woke up about one a.m. one night, in pain. I am not talking stub your toe pain, I am talking swollen face, head , ear involved..pain. I had a sore throat over the weekend but now , well it was involved. So i went to the doctor..a doctor in the same practice as my Internal Medicine doc. They were shall we say, worried. I was with the doctors (plural ) for a good hour. Many blood tests and two hours later, they called me to say that i had a horrific bacterial infection.

Antibiotics and 5 days later, I am feeling better.

But now on to the real story at hand. On the way to my mothers house last night for her birthday celebration, I took a gander in the car mirror. BIG MISTAKE. I will be 38 this year. I am too young to have wrinkles. Way to young. But yet, I do. I am not depressed. I am just well... shocked? I am thinking about getting some olay wrinkle cream.

Bitchyness

So i am on my second day of the steroid dose pack. I have this rashy virus thing and fungus thing caused by it. So i am very itchy and because of the steroids, BITCHY! I feel like smiling, crying and yelling all at the same time. I apologized to my household and friends before I even started it. So, If i have not apologized to you..SORRY. If I cry or seem upset when i am with you, please know that it is not you. And another thing.....this is making me sooo hungry!!
