Last week had been a slow recovery - and this week is about the same really. I'm feeling much better but still not %100 - pain in the neck (or knee) virus!! I can walk around alright and sleep comfortably at night, but my left knee and forearm are still tender. Last week my doctor gave me a note to rest for two weeks. I thought this was a little excessive, so after taking last week off I went back to work Monday. At the end of Tuesday I noticed that my entire left leg swelled up - it wasn't extremely painful but was about 1 and 1/2 times bigger than normal. I went to the cover supervisor, and she said due to insurance reasons I have to take off the full time that my doctors note prescribed & I got sent home!!! So now i'm off for the rest of this week as well. I feel like such a slacker. I guess If I take the time to recover now - everything should be back to normal faster.
In the mean time - I celebrated St. Patties Days in proper Green style. Out came the food colouring and plenty of Shandies were celebrated:)

Still the swollen member, huh? That's not good. I guess it's best if you take some time to get back to your old self before heading back to work. Don't be like me and force yourself back to work when you aren't feeling 100%. I feel so guilty taking time off since I know that no one will be teaching my kids music while I'm away but then pushing myself to get back to work when I'm not 100% has proven to be a bad idea. Hence the horrible flu/cold I had a week or so ago. Take care of yourself! Big hugs!!
Okay you are starting to scare me and I can't help but let the nurse out in me. Have you been taking anti-inflammatories, blood tests, dear lord tell me you are doing something. Because even though tiger balm is great, it won't solve it. Okay I am done sounding like a mum, maybe not. Just make sure you are icing a lot-okay you know that, I really am done. Hope you feel better soon
Love ya
Caroline

Steve,
I just read a comment you left on my blog about a certain strummin' E.D. I didn't know you knew about that. Dear me! If it makes you feel any better. There has not been any communication since that once a few weeks ago. Perhaps he read what I wrote and got the point. In any case, your mind can rest easy knowing that it is all okay. I hope you are feeling better. Please go get checked out again if things don't get better soon. Oh, ps: love your pics from the Dirty Dancing. Miss you!!
