Well... this has been quite a weekend... On Friday morning I woke up with a swollen foot. I didn't think too much of it, due to the fact that I've been walking 5 miles a day in a pair of shoes that are too big for my feet. BUT Saturday morning I woke up unable to walk farther than to the sofa. My right foot and calf were twice the size they should be... Normally my toes don't look like little sausages! One of my housemates ran next door to our sweetheart of a neighbour who took a look at my foot... apparently I was bit or stung by some sort of insect...
I ended up either in bed or on the sofa all weekend with a sausage leg covered in ice and propped up on a billion pillows. Praying for a miracle I called in sick to the Events crew on Sunday... I figured I'd end up being a burden more than anything.
So, I didn't see anyone but my housemates (and only occasionally) all weekend - resulting in feeling the tiniest bit homesick... maybe it wasn't homesickness as much as spring fever in the middle of autumn...
I hate (when I have to) keep myself entertained... I watched so many movies it's not even funny - but I did have a great time Skyping my family and friends... It also gave me a fantastic opportunity to spend some quality time with Jesus!
Since the swelling didn't go down (in fact, it got worse) over the weekend, I decided to skip my one class on Monday, and go to the doctor along with my housemate Clarissa who has pinkeye (yuck!). It turns out that I had a allergic reaction to the bite/sting, and my skin is infected. So, now I'm on 2 meds: an antibiotic which will help with the infection and an antihistamine which is going to help bring the inflammation around the 'injection site' down.
I am now sitting on my bed in lots of pain because of the walk to and from the doctors... but I thought I would share this with you because we are only 3 days away from Colour Conference #1, and 6 days away from the most amazing album recording in the history of Hillsong Church. Satan is terrified of what these 2 events are going to do to the local and international Church!
Proof they are going to be epic:
The only way I am going to survive the next 2 weeks are with the help of:
1. Jesus Christ
2. Sleep
3. Pain medication
We serve a great God...
Be blessed
