Merry Christmas to all! Now that the holiday is coming to a close, I can safely say that I managed to make it a memorable one. Have no fear, I survived (otherwise, this makes for quite an ethereal post).
During my last post, I was in Boston visiting the doctor late Friday afternoon. Apparently, he and I should have spent more time together because I wound up in the ER the morning of Christmas Eve unable to walk thanks to a staph abscess. Merry Christmas. Let's just say, I did not ask Santa for this nor would I wish it on the worst of the naughty list!
A few hours later, full of antibiotics and almost pain-free, my mom and I happily left the hospital ready to take on the swarm of late holiday shoppers in Wareharm Crossing (obviously, myself included in the swarm... don't say anything, I already admitted to my procrastinary ways... and now I'll admit my ability to make up words: procrastinary, that's one for the books!). Within seconds, I found the perfect Lego set for my brother, the last one on my list. The heavens illuminated it and choirs began to sing, like when the Griswolds found their Christmas tree- minus the hypothermia and sap. The shopping was finally complete, presents were wrapped and I was able to spend Christmas Eve with my family, almost a normally functioning person again- at least walking was back in my repertoire!
In the end, we had a wonderful holiday; we shared plenty of laughs, added a page to my medical history and ultimately learned far too much about me. Santa treated us very well and I know that all seven of my brothers Lego sets are completed, taken apart and put back together in as many new ways as possible by now. Anyway, I hope that everyone had a very merry Christmas too and is hunkering down for the blizzard of 2010 to come!
