My mom 3 vs. Trees 0
05.27.04 (5:21 pm)   [edit]
At the moment, I physically feel like a blob. I am so spent physically - as in I hardly have the energy to keep my head up.

The mom invaded around 9am as I was mowing the back yard. I said I wanted to trim back some branches in the front yard that were keeping the sun from reaching my dead, brown grass. Apparently, she took this to mean that I wanted every single branch cut off that was within reach on a 12 ft ladder. The piles of branches to be picked up tomorrow are monsterous. As my neighbors are driving by home from work, they are all slowing down to say "what the hell happened?" I wasn't allowed to touch the saw or the pruning loppers - my task was to pick up the branches and stack them in piles and rake up the leaves.

We did this for SIX hours. We're talking about three trees. That's a buttload of branches. (I'll take some pics tomorrow a.m. and post them for amusement)

She was ready to get to the trees in the back yard, but she saw that I was about to keel over and said we'd pick things up next Thursday. (It's going to take me that long to recuperate.)

I stepped on the thingy-ma-bob hooky- latchy thing on my overall shorts last week. Hurt like the dickens. Left a big bruise. It's turned into a huge gaping hole on the arch of my foot. I've been keeping it clean with hydrogen peroxide and polysporin, but my foot is swelling up now and it's all red and hot. Lovely. Maybe we can break out the saw and just amputate it next week when she comes over...

I'm going back to bed. "night folks"

Drs wouldn't do anything for it except maybe put me on an oral antibiotic which gives me a "Y" infection. Which requires other medication. So... I'll keep up with current treatment until it turns green.

I can't lift my arm to brush my teeth. How's that for sore? My foot is throbbing, but I can't lift my leg to look at it.

I'm going to go back to bed. ;)

The foot thing sounds like it's infected... you migh wanna get some antibiotics going pronto if you wanna be able to walk anytime soon.

Seeing your doctor mighten be a bad idea either :)

Nah - the dr would tell me to do what I'm doing right now. I should have an honorary medical degree by now... So, I'm kinda like the dr. Plus, it's a holiday weekend and the drs won't be around.

I'm doing topical antibiotics. I don't need to take any oral ones - leaves me with a nasty side-effect.
