I am off work for a week due to Cellulitis which is an inflammation of the connective tissue underlying the skin, that can be caused by a bacterial infection. In my situation it has developed in my foot because of a series of blisters from all of the walking in the heat. I noticed my foot swelling and was unable to walk yesterday so I went to the clinic and began an antibiotic iv, oral antibiotics and pain killers. I have to go to the clinic twice a day for the next week for the iv. It has been slightly unnerving for me, being so far from home and Canadian medical facilities, but everything seems to be under control and I am being well cared for. When the doctor was setting up my first iv he thought it was quite lucky for me to be experiencing a tropical infection in Africa. He figures not all my friends will get to have to same situation. His perspective made me laugh, But when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. You can always find a silver lining if you are open to observing your habits and reactions to life's adversities. Despite my limp, sore arm and pain killer induced daze I am great and have an entire week to read, write, and recuperate.
Good Luck finding the silver linings in your rain clouds.
