~I Have A Problem~

This post is very early, as I woke with a very serious
problem that I am very concerned, ok worried.. Ive never
had anything like this.. The last few days, well since on the
couch really, but the past couple its been getting worse.
The sore spot is right.. well hmmm.. to delicately describe
the place, right next to major parts.. Its a lump about the
size of a quarter..round, and VERY sore.. Now, I had to
figure out a way to see this area.. that was fun let me tell
ya, It better go away or I will die of embarrassment if I
have to go to the doctor for this.. Which today as bad as
its hurting.. I did call Erica at the Drs office.. This is such
horrible timing... I cant stop now.. I'm on the countdown
and I have a LOT to do yet !..

Well this lump.. when I finally got in a position I could see it,
I will NOT describe that .. :-) but I saw the lump, and I felt
it, and what I saw I didn't like.. the lump was very dark blue,
looking like a bruise.. I havent fallen so it is NOT from a hit
or anything... To sit, well I cant. I can for a little while but
it starts to hurt so bad I cant stand it.. When I talked to
Erica she wasn't real sure what it is but suggested heat, if
its an infection it will surface from the heat.. She said to
try to avoid sitting on it by using a ring or laying down.. I
sure DONT need THIS now...


I explained to her I am in the process of moving and she knows
how I am about going out, she is going to set up a nurse to come
and check it out for me, and has called in a anti biotic. I have
been so worried about something going wrong with this move and
I didn't expect problems with ME! But it does worry me I will
be honest.. I have never had anything like this so I have NO idea
what it is.. If it opens... that could lead to VERY serious things
for me as quickly and easily that I get staff infections.. and it
being right dead center almost of my butt, that means bed, down
and not sitting but for short times ... I am not a happy camper...
But I WILL make this move..

Erica said to take the antibiotics, apply heat to bring it up and to
try to stay off it as much as possible. Call her again tomorrow
and if its not worse to wait and then try to go in to see them on
Monday or Tuesday. AFTER this move and that's what I'm gonna
do.. I cant take chances.. Penny will be here tomorrow and I am
sure she will get the last of the packing done.. I sure hope so..

Well I have to get off this butt and give it a rest...I shall keep
you updated... Too early for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to say
nitey nite so I will say "G'Day, G'Day"... :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear, Love ya and THANKS !
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless you", is my prayer today,
I'm honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again....

    Hi, Honey,
    You sure don't need this now, of all times. I will certainly have a word with the Lord about this, to-night,in my prayers - in fact, right now!!
    He's been pretty good to you with the new home and all.
    Anyhoway, I hope and pray it will clear up P.D.Q.
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    Hello Lois
    So sorry to hear about that sore,not a good time for it right now...but sore is never a good time for them anyhow...
    I'm still praying for good weather for Saturday for you...
    Pam will be moving next month to a better place too...in time there will be 5 girls living there...Becky will be living there too, but it going to take time to get Becky room ready for her...They got to add a sink and walking in shower for her.
    God bless you Lois
