Next, was the avocado. I love having a couple of slices of it on my burgers. It must be from growing up in California. So, I halve it and try to get the seed out the cool way the chefs do on Food Network. What could possibly go wrong? So, I place the seeded half of the avocado in my left hand, raise the knife and bring it down with force, so that I could sink the blade into the seed. I am guessing chefs use sharper knives, because the knife I used dug slightly into the seed, twisted the seed, went through the avocado and into my hand, just below my fore-finger. Talk about pain. I think I had a guardian angel with me, knowing I could not handle much more on my plate through the end of May, because what started as a REALLY DEEP cut, started healing quickly. I decided to not go to Urgent Care or to the ER because when my husband looked at it, the bleeding had finally stopped, and it is so hard to explain RD & the medications I am on to someone who just doesn't know me or my medical history.
I did, however, see my primary care doc the next day. By then, the incision was slightly open, but no bleeding. She gave me an antibiotic as a precaution. She said I could still do my MTX & Humira, but I forgot about both because of my next subject...
Moving.
I began packing the house last week, as well. Some boxes just needed to be taped because we didn't seal them before moving them across the street from our old house. Others, I decided to go through and get rid of items. I have a garage sale pile, which is growing, thankfully.
Even with my sore hand, I was able to get most of them done. Over the weekend, Hubby helped me move all the boxes into my oldest's recently vacated room. There are still a lot more things to pack & do, but lists help me not feel so overwhelmed.
Then, the closing. We closed on Friday, 19 May 17. We thought everything was going well, and were excited because we should be getting money back from our earnest money. Well, the funding was taking a while, so we went to the house and got our keys. While there, I had to fix about eight pages of the closing documents. So, I fixed them, had our builder fax them back to the title company. So, I thought everything was done, we re-keyed the house. On the drive home, everything began to fall apart. I have yet to hear any news about the status of the loan/closing.
What is the moral of all this?
1. Don't forget your medicines, even if life is going 200 MPH.
2. Stress, mental & physical, are terrible on a person's body, not to mention one that suffers from AI diseases.
3. Lists are perfect.
4. Flares suck
