Hurty Gertie

I often have a few good days and don’t even notice.

Until they’re bookended by really shitty ones. Now it’s bug bites, infected and hot and red. I ould have sworn I showered right after yard work. I guess not. Ugh.

Longer pants to yardwork, super shower afterwards. Dammit.

Of course since I don’t have a sane insurance plan or work schedule right now, I ended up at urgent care – especially since this had happened before.

It was quite a talk to talk them into prescribing me a topical antibiotic (like the rheumy did last time) but he did, on the condition that if it didn’t help I’d take the horsey pills of antibiotic. And follow up with my rheumy.

Day two and it’s helping, but not because I’m following directions – I’m putting it on twice a day like my rheumy prescribed me to last time.

I need to change my situation. Get out of these spirals of funk and reclaim my mobility.
