A Few Days of Chaos and No Sleep

This week has been pretty crazy and most of my free time has been spent in urgent care and the ER. My sister got cellulitis in her foot/ankle and it got pretty bad so after a trip to urgent care and the follow up visit she was sent to the ER for 24 hours of IV antibiotics. The poor girl also had to suffer through FIVE attempts at IV placement before it was all set up for treatment. Crazy. This pseudo-admission (she just stayed in the ED since it was going to likely be less than 24 hours) also meant that I played chauffeur and food getter in between trying to sleep and get to class. I was happy to do it, but now that it is all over, BOY, am I exhausted! I can't wait for this weekend that is free of quiz and there will be plenty of time for relaxing and sleeping in and doing a whole lot of NOTHING (plus shopping). My sister is now fine and the IV antibiotics definitely helped a lot. Lets hope the new oral meds continue to get rid of the nasty bug. I only wish they had cultured it because I really want to know exactly what it is! Now it time to watch a tiny bit of TV and hit the hay for a hopefully long nights rest. Whew!
