Infection

It seems that strange infections are in for the Remfrey clan. I had to take Nora to the ER today because she was grabbing at a bug bite on her leg and screaming "Owie!" over and over. I found out that it was not a big bite, but probably a thorn from a rose bush that has been stuck in her leg since we were in France! I remember seeing some blood on her leg, but we both thought it was a mosquito bite and didn't think more about it. It wasn't!

I'm putting antibiotic ointment on it twice a day and covering it with a pleasing band-aide that Nora will hopefully leave on for the necessary time ;-) I'll keep you informed.

The most interesting part of the visit to the ER was listening to the lady next to us try to get a perscription for Vicadin (sp?). The doctor told her that she had filled 17 perscriptions for the same thing with different doctors over the last 2.5 months and he wasn't going to help her. She was not a very happy camper as you can imagine. I that this only happened on TV, but obviously not!
