The Chicken Coop

I am a paper crafter. I've been playing with paper, and cutting and pasting for many years now and I still just love it. I teach classes each month and would love to have you.
You can find me at MyRedHen.blogspot.com and on Pinterest

I'd love to hear from you.
Every now and then I have some cards or little treats available for sale that may be seen here.
My blog also contains my personal posts. Ignore them if you like, but you may get a kick out of them. Maybe my girls will read them one day and get insights into the inner workings of an old woman's brain....Scary Thought!
There is a list of labels on the right side of the blog, so you can click there to go to only the posts that you are interested in. That will allow you to skip the personal posts and any items for sale if you wish. No matter which way you choose, I hope will enjoy my little blog and visit often.

I'm Stuck :(

Hi All
Just thought I'd check in.
I have more video tips to film as promised, but at this time I'm stuck in the hospital..
Couple of days ago my ankle was kind of bugging me and by evening it was painful and swollen.
It was my intention to go to urgent care, but they were all closed, so my only option was to go to the emergency room. It was super busy and filled with people. I was there waiting for hours before I even got into a room. I was hoping at the time that I had just twisted it a bit and maybe they could wrap it up with an ace bandage and send me on my way. I just didn't want it to be broken and have to wear a boot.
It turned out way differently than expected.
At it turns out, it is cellulitis, an infection in the soft tissue, and could have even ended requiring surgery. They did an MRI to rule out an abscess and they aspirated it and are still running tests on it. I ended up being admitted to the hospital yesterday very early in the morning. After the aspiration the pain got better and the swelling went away so I was sure that they would be sending me home this morning, but when the doctor came in, he said they were waiting on the results from one of the tests and that if that's okay they will probably send me home tomorrow.

Good Grief!
A sore ankle puts me in the hospital for nearlyfour days?
Oh well, maybe the Lord decided that I needed to take a little break. :)
