It was a dark and stormy night...

It was a dark and stormy night that started it all.

I started the Christmas Card but I haven't done any art since the last Christmas Card. 
Just so sick and tired.  I really should have known better. 
I knew what I want to draw then it started, couldn't draw what I wanted. 
Several designs later I finally picked one.

Then the printer broke. Finally fixed. Needed Ink, Printer still not great.
Waiting for new Ink and paper. Still sleeping much of the day. The print is 
coming out dark and muddy. 
I didn't want to give up but by the first week in December I knew it was 
No Christmas Cards.

January comes and I am feeling worst. I am sent to hospital With two infections and one turns out 
to be MRSA ! I have a huge hole in my side were this was eating away. I am on major antibiotics and 
lots of pills.  One of the several jobs I took to pay for University was at a hospital. Turns out people who are autoimmune and have worked in hospital are very susceptible to have  MRSA.
Oh Yea Me !
I am home but beyond tired. I have a Special Wound Nurse who comes in twice a week to help with
bandages and medicine.  I see the Infectious Disease Doctor on Monday.

Agatha is very upset she cried when I was gone and now she is keeping a close eye on me. Tonight when the bandages were changed she laid next to me and put her head on my leg, Even Winston is sleeping again with me.

I am trying to catch up on your blogs but reading is hard. I had to cancel my eye appointment 
and will see the doctor on Friday.

Just think this is the good news ! I am very lucky,


As always here is a pretty !








Turns out he crashed into a pole while drunk. The police found him like this and 
a cat found a good place to nap.

cheers,  parsnip

  1. Oh my goodness, I am sorry to hear about this. I have been worried about you since we have not seen you for awhile. I worked in a medical office for many years and I am familiar with how bad MRSA can be. It is good that you have a Wound Nurse coming in to help with everything. I hope you feel better each day and your wound heals as quickly as possible. Thank you for the sweet pictures of the gud dugs and also the pretties. That rainbow is beautiful! I'm sending you gentle hugs and positive, healing thoughts.

  7. Oh, Gayle. I feel like a bad blogger friend because I've been so behind on reading blog posts lately and I didn't know you were having such a hard time! I'm sorry and I hope you begin to improve soon and feel better.

    Those sweet doggies have to be good medicine! Something about Agatha's sweet face really touches me.

    Take care, my friend. I wish I lived closer and could do something for you. As it is, I'm sending you hugs and love from me, George, and Marco!

    1. I am very lucky that I am doing so well as I am but what a mess.
      We all have our quiet battles that we fight. So happy and lucky that I have my Son who lives with me and Daughter has been helping at the home. We told her she was not allowed in the hospital. So far so good.
