If there is any positives to living with a disease like Lupus or any chronic illness I must say it is the doctors that you may stumble across while visiting the emergency room. After being diagnosed with strep throat a month or so ago I found myself in the land of funny jammies. Again. This time respiratory difficulties made it necessary to get antibiotics of which I am allergic. The irony here is that in order to start administering medication prior to me ending up in real distress like this isn't? nursing staff brought in an anesthesiologist after the staff vampires could not find a vein.
Needless to say that this guy came from the operating room, freshly scrubbed, and upon entering the curtained cubicle got my nearly seventy eight year old mother gesturing at his incredible Adonis like physique and ruggedly handsome good looks. All this happening while I am waiting to have a needle stuck into my jugular . . . .
I am recovering, albeit slowly. In the meantime remember there are laughs out there even when Lupus is being a real pain in the neck . . .
