It was sleeting when I left the nursing home.

I haven't picked up my prescriptions yet. I felt sort of nauseous at the nursing home, so I came home, ate lunch and slept. Sleep has been very fleeting with this intertrigo skin infection. I was given two creams to use and have to go back in two weeks after doing fasting blood work. I didn't realize I had an order to get lab work done and hadn't done it. It was hanging on the refrigerator when I got home.

I slept in the recliner after lunch. I think I have been greatly stressed by this skin infection. The nurse practitioner said that yeast is naturally on our skin. Once I start on the creams, then I will get back to exercising again.

My husband's MRI is this Friday. Our daughter called us last night and asked for a loan. Her husband is in the Army Guard and wasn't paid for guard duty he did because it isn't in the budget, so they are having to do a lot of paperwork to try to get the pay he is due. Their car broke down and they were overdrawn. They have an exchange student staying with them.

I feel so tired. My best efforts with this infection still left me with an oozing mess and plenty of laundry to do. I think now, that I will be able to sleep having all my questions answered and using the proper medicine. I haven't been going out in public, not even to church because this infection stinks. Though I kept clean, I was afraid someone might smell it. It smells like rotting flesh.

I am so glad to finally get relief. With my husband doctoring for his feet, I didn't make an appointment to be seen. I probably spent as much doing extra laundry as I would have for one co-pay. The nurse practitioner said not to feel bad about it because it is easy to get and yet makes one feel miserable. I probably got it after being on Amoxicillin for strep throat.
