### Update....again

I know, I know. I promised to get another QOTW up, but honestly, this week has been crazy beyond measure. I told you all about the rash. Well, we didn't actually go into the doctor because it started to clear up on it's own on Friday. I just took some Benadryl to stop the itching and ignored it. By Friday night, it was basically all cleared up. I even felt up to having friends over for our bi-monthly game night. All in all, I was feeling pretty good about it.
Then, Saturday night, shortly after we got home from a walk to Macey's (ahhh, Spring), my ankle started throbbing. Really bad. By the time we went to bed, I could hardly walk. It was no better in the morning and both my index fingers had joined the fun. I couldn't grip anything, let alone pick Jayson up to feed him. But, it's Easter, after all, and we had Stake Conference today, so we went. I spent most of the two hours following Katy as she wandered the Church (in and out, in and out of the cultural hall). By the end, my ankle was actually starting to feel better. My fingers? Not so much, and the pain was spreading to my wrists. Okay, but it still wasn't too bad. Around 12:30 this afternoon, my shoulders started to hurt. By 4:00, I was in so much pain, I couldn't lift my arms away from my body at all. That's when Tyler put his foot down. We were going to see a doctor. Keryn (lovely, wonderful, beautiful Keryn) came and took our children so we wouldn't have to deal with them. We ended up in the ER at UVRMC (because the Urgent Care isn't open on Easter Sunday) and after about two and a half hours (really fast, considering it was an ER) we still don't know what's wrong. Or even if it's related to the rash at all. All we know is I don't have diabetes, I don't have lime disease, and I don't have acute arthritis. Oh, and I'm not pregnant. *whew!* That's all I can say. Anyway, the doctor gave me a prescription for Loratab (yay!) and some antibiotic, just to be on the safe side. But he's intrigued, so he's going to call me in a day or two and see how I'm doing. In the meantime, he's going to talk to his doctor friends and see what they can come up with. I'm just hoping that by the time he calls, I'm all better. I'll keep you all posted though. Happy Easter! I hope it was better for all of you than it was for us.
