kankle


saturday night kason and i enjoyed a little walk around san tan mall. it was so nice to slow down, relax, and walk around a bit. i even found a sweet deal and bought myself two skirts from ann taylor loft. {each were originally $60.00 and i got mine for $9.88 a piece!} it was a great night minus the little blister i got on the back of my heal from my shoes. i get blisters all the time so not a big deal...or so i thought. then yesterday my foot started to swell up and turn all red. i was in some serious pain when i tried to walk. kason carried me up the stairs, gave me some advil and some ice for my foot, and sent me too bed. when i woke up i thought it looked better so i went to work. apparently, it didn't look so good because all of the moms in there were worried about me and my bosses sent me home to go to the doctor. so i took a trip to the doctor even though we don't have insurance. {wasn't as expensive as i thought it would be.} one look at my foot and the doc gave a little cringe and said you have one bad infection in your foot. i guess that little blister got infected and now i have a problem. he gave me some serious antibiotics and told me to soak my foot in hot water and epsom salts three times a day for a week. i guess he is really worried about it because he told me to call him everyday for the next couple days to give a report on my foot. if it gets any worse i am suppose to go straight in. moral of this long story: 1) be nice to your blisters 2) 1 really bad foot infection = 1 serious kankle. the picture isn't that great but you get the idea.
