Not so Good News from the Doctor

So after 10 days of using the mouth wash stuff the thrush in my mouth is worse.  I now have lots of sores around my teeth to go with the yucky tongue.  Add that to the nausea, light headedness, earaches, sore throat, headache, body aches, fever, and chills and I'm feeling pretty much awesome.  I spent almost 2 hours at the health clinic today.  They put me on a strong antibiotic and took lots of vials of blood.  Depending on the results I will either slowly start feeling better or else I have c-diff and am going to end up in the hospital on IV's.  Isn't that special???  They also said that with having had Staff infection it will be a good 2 to 3 months before I feel completely normal again.  I really didn't want to hear any of this.

Can I tell you that I have the most awesome boss in the world.  His response to my last update was, "I am so, so sorry to hear this!  Please don't worry about anything here at work.  Just focus on getting whatever rest and treatment you need to get better, and we'll take care of things here.  We want you to be able to come back at 100 percent strength!"  Now how many of you can say that would be your bosses attitude about his new employee missing a few days of work?

The good new is some of my family is coming down for the weekend and my Mom can take care of me.  She doesn't know that's on her agenda yet, but I'm sure she'll be thrilled because she loves me.  Kyle wants to know what is wrong with the way he takes care of me.  I told him sometimes you just need your mom and he understood that.

The Adventures of Old Red

So ever since Kyle had to get rid of his truck when we got married due to the high cost of owning it (somehow this has always been my fault even though he was the one who did it)  he has been in mourning.  So when we found out we were going to have a little money coming in again and we ran onto a really good deal we purchased him an old 1991 Ford F150 Truck.  It seemed to be in good condition and came with a shell and snowplow.  For as old as it is it has low miles and the interior is in good condition.  After driving it for a month or so it started leaking oil.  So you would think it would be no big deal to change an oil pan.  Boy would you be wrong!!!

Dad and Kyle spent all of last Saturday in Greg's shop under the truck attempting to change the oil pan.  Turns out it involves moving both the engine and the transmission.  After 11 hours they admitted defeat, loaded the truck onto the trailer and took it to the auto shop.  So the $130 in parts turned into a much, much larger bill (although not quite as much as I figured it would). 

Last night Dad, Mom, Tyler, Marlee, and Marijka met us in Layton for dinner at Red Robin to bring us the truck.  My Dad keeps apologizing because he couldn't fix the truck.  I'm the one who should be apologizing for making him attempt to fix it for 11 hours and coming home so covered in oil and transmission fluid that he had to throw away his clothes.  It just shows the kind of man my Dad is that he blames himself for not being able to help me out.  Thanks for trying Dad.  I'm sorry you went through so much just because I'm cheap.  I love you for all you do for Kyle and me. 

And now Kyle has a truck and no longer feels like his right arm is missing.  If it wasn't dark outside I'd go take a picture for you.
