I'm leaving for a family cottage tomorrow, and I'm SO excited. I haven't been there in 5 years, and I can't wait to get back there and see the place and see what has changed and what is still exactly the way I remember. And this will be my baby niece's first trip to the beach, so it should be fun to have her there. We will be "celebrating" her 1/2 birthday while we're there... I'm not sure we'll celebrate so much as acknowledge it on the day, but I can't believe that six months have passed so quickly! And on that note, my little nephew started junior kindergarten this year, and my other niece is in 2nd grade! I feel old.
My wrist is still giving me a lot of trouble and pain... as much as before surgery, which my surgeon says is not good, so we have to look into infection inside my wrist. Ugh. I got my blue cast off, and we found a pretty bad infection hiding out on the skin... so that's finally cleared up. I had to take the worst tasting/smelling antibiotics ever! I think it had sulfur in it or something. And no one is quite sure if this was caused from those antibiotics, but 48 hours after I started taking them, both my legs swelled up to twice their normal size! And my toes started bruising. It was most bizarre. But I've finished the meds and the swelling seems to have gone down. Just in time for the beach, too!
Anyway, I apologize for this being such a short post, but I really wanted to update my blog... but it's now after 10pm and I still have some cleaning and packing to do before tomorrow. I have quartet practice in the morning before we leave, so I really must finish everything tonight.
I hope you are all doing well, and I promise to write again soon!
