Whatever Happened to 2KCBW?!?

Hey Friends,

So in addition to last week being a crazy week of tech, some unforeseen circumstances kept me from finishing Knitting & Crochet Blog Week.

I had that crazy morning of running downtown to get an Illinois driver's license so I can get a firearms card (needed for work). 

And then Friday night I made my first trip to the ER...and Friday was first preview too, so that was fun. 

And lastly, today was spent calling EVERY FAMILY PRACTICE IN THE CHICAGO-LAND AREA trying to find someone to take my insurance and see me for a follow up.  And then getting a new prescription filled.  And now I have to go to the laundromat to wash EVERYTHING I OWN (for reals) before my new mattress comes on Thursday morning.

Good news is I'm ok.  Majorly uncomfortable, but ok.  I either had a small scratch on my forearm that got bacteria in it, or some sort of bug bite that caused an infection under my skin--cellulitis--and then it started snaking up my arm--lymphangitis.  The ER gave me a round of IV antibiotics and then sent me home with the rest in pill form.  And the doctor today said it looked to be getting better, and he gave me a prescription for the itchy-burny-ness of it.  So that's all good.  And I'm going back on Friday to have blood drawn to do a comparison from the blood the ER drew to confirm that I'm healing. 

So, as I said.  Dramatic Week. 

Hopefully when things settle, I can catch up on those blog posts, because I love the prompts I missed!
