This birthday was definitely one for the books! If you’re up for a story, this one is crazy. It’s 10:00 pm now, and I am literally just getting home after spending the evening at Urgent Care. I had worn a pair of shoes on Sunday that somehow resulted in a blister on my left foot. I didn’t think anything of it until come Monday night it started to really hurt. I figured it was just the blister starting to heel and the pain was just from the internal pressure of the blister. Well, come today the morning of my birthday, I couldn’t even stand on my feet to get out of bed! I somehow managed to hobble out, get dressed, and figured I’d go in to work as I have a couple big projects that needed attention. Given how the pain seemed to come out of nowhere, part of my secretly hoped that it would just go away on its own too, ha! Unfortunately it only seemed to get worse throughout the day until pretty soon I could barely walk. After finishing up one of my big projects, I ended up leaving work early to find an urgent care facility. After signing in and waiting for 1.5 hours, the doctor finally saw me and boy was it scary to see her reaction to my now very swollen ankle! Turns out I had a pretty bad infection that was spreading up my leg and all around my ankle. I had to get 2 shots (the amount I needed exceeded one needed so I had one shot in each hip) as well as a prescription for oral antibiotics. And I have to go back tomorrow to make sure I’m making progress! Needless to say, its been quite a night and quite a birthday to remember!
Meanwhile we spent some time at The Highland Dallas hotel last weekend to unwind, and I changed into this pretty white / yellow knit dress for dinner. I love the flattering fit-and-flare style and the geometric print trim is fun and unique! I’m always excited when I discover a petite shop or clothing line and J&J Petite has some of the cutest pieces! J&J Petite specializes in styles for those 5’4″ and under and they actually have maxi dresses with different length options depending on if you’re 4’11” – 5’1″ or 5’2″ – 5’4″ (no more hemming needed!). This pink crochet maxi needs to be in my closet already! I love being able to shop and know that everything will fit!
