I know my body...i think!

My body always lets me know when I need to slow down. About 5 years ago, I was working 35+ hours a week, taking 4 classes and trying to take care of the kids. Well, one day I woke up and it looked like I had swallowed golf balls. I went to the doctor and she gave me an antibiotic (sp?) and that was that. I took it for a week, and literally the day after I finished the medicine, the golf balls came back. I went back to the doctor and she told me that I was running my self ragged and my body was trying to tell me to slow down. Great...like I have the time to slow down. But, out of fear of being completely out of commission, I started getting more sleep, eating more soups ( it builds antibodies), and took advantage of my off time. I eventually got better, and I figured I had learned my lesson.

Well, a few days ago, my right foot started hurting, ALOT!! Now, I have gotten this thing called plantersefeciatiaus (no clue how to spell), which is usually something that happens when I wear flip flops too long (sound crazy) and the bottom of my foot hurts and it goes away after a day or two. Well, this time my toes are hurting, and it has been 4 days. Not normal AT ALL!

So this morning I went to the hospital to see what is going on. Well, after xrays and talking to about 20 medical people, I figured out the diognoses...an infection in my foot, the follow-up plan....stay off my foot for at least 24 hours!! WHAT!! Like I have the time!

So, the good news is that I don't have to work until tomorrow, so at least I didn't have to call in sick and be a jerk! The bad news is that, once again, I didn't listen to my body so it told me in an extreme way to SLOW DOWN! Which is what I am going to have to do. I don't know how, but I have to work on something.

So, now I am stuck home today, and lets just hope I am better tomorrow!
