I should state that I have been back in the hospital and out again. I hadn't had a chance to really get back to normal yet before I landed myself a four day weekend packed in ice courtesy of Cleveland Clinic Hospital. I had an infected PICC line. They pulled it out and weird things started to happen to me within seconds. Shakes, chills, teeth chattering, dizziness, hurling. It took me a whole fifteen minutes to go from fine to admitted to the hospital. Fevers of 104.5 are scary. People panic. No one lets you wear clothes or blankets and they shove ice packs in your underwear. Ice can be a very painful torture device. So the infection that was released directly into my blood stream was identified and attacked with the proper medicine and is now hopefully all gone. I am taking home IV antibiotics for the next two weeks. I had to go home with a new PICC line for that. It was a very difficult thing to have to go through to get home for Christmas, but I did it. Not like I had a whole lot of choice. It was that or keep sitting in the hospital. No thanks.

Christmas was good. All of the assorted little monkeys were pleased. Mom was very happy with her gift. I was completely floored by mine. I must have been an extremely good girl this year :)
