Presents from the Tooth Fairy

I must be ageing. Santa gave me White Strips for my teeth in my stocking this year. And lots of many other things too!
The week before Christmas was going well until my right foot swelled doubled to it's normal size. Not good timing. I was to have two of the busiest selling days at work and I could barely hobble along 10 feet. I was treating myself for athlete's foot and thought maybe a warm soak would relieve the itching. The following morning I woke up to red hot burning toes and a deformed right foot. Ugh!! I was pissed! So what does a hardheaded, go -getter type do? Get dressed and join the zoo at work. That was a big mistake. I couldn't stand the pain to put my designer heels on so I settled for black and white basketball shoes instead and hobbled along to work. Ouch!! Once I saw my boss I started balling and said I was so sorry. She kinda freaked out and demanded I go home and see a doctor. What an idea! To take care of myself! Anyways I worked a few hours and went home and saw a doctor. He prescribed me painkillers, cream and antibiotics and sent me on my way wishing me good luck, hardhead.
Well after 6 days of excruciating pain, burning, itching, bleeding, blistering feet the swelling went down. The blisters are popping my feet only itch in the morning and night. What an ordeal. I have decided that this experience has been more painful than childbirth.

As for knitting I have making some hats and practicing intarsia. I have never knitted two or more colors of yarn into a design and am finding interesting. Anyways this will probably be my last post this year. So Happy New Year and Stay Happy and Healthy in 2007! Cheers!
