I am tired this morning, really tired. I am on a new medicine regiment at the moment, beyond the allergy shots I am already on. For a while back now, I have been having trouble with my legs. They have been itchy and blotchy, and  me being the stupid person I am have been itching. It first presented it as a problem in maybe April, and then went on as a bother for a couple of months. My mum helped in Sweden and told me about a cortisone lotion I should use. It worked wonderfully and the problems finally went away. Now, fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. It all came back and came back in full force. The last week has been torturous and neither calamine lotion or cortisone lotion would help. My oh so sensitive husband told me “Oh, I am sure that is a parasite-infestation.”  Gee, thanks honey, as if I wasn’t freaked out already as it was….. Idiot. For all those degrees he has, he can be really tactless and dumb once in a while.

So, I haven’t been able to make it to the doctor’s office, due to my tight school schedule, but since Fall Break started Friday, I could finally go. I made it there and didn’t have to wait TOO long to be seen. Unfortunately, I got Dr. N. I usually see Dr. Q, but for some reason he was not there, and I got stuck with Dr. N. Now, this is the lady which told me that I had a hole in my oesophagus after I fell in figure skating and severely bruised my ribs, and sent me home with anti-acids. So I don’t trust her at all. But nevertheless, I was kinda forced to deal with her, since I am not going to have a chance to go to see the doctor until Thanksgiving. So, anyways, she saw me, and diagnosed me with dyshidrotic eczema. Which, by the way, is a completely impossible diagnosis; dyshidrotic eczema affects ONLY the hands and soles of the feet. But I do believe it is a type of eczema, so I am taking the medication and using the lotion she prescribed anyway (after reading and realizing that this medication cures a multitude of different eczema). So far, it is working. No more itching, and as far as I can see, no new red spots.

We are going skating today, roller skating, and then Tuesday we are going skating in a real ice rink. It is nerve-wracking, seeing as how I have not been on the ice for over a year. Hubby is back to taking lessons, so he is skating on a regular basis again, but I can’t, due to my school-schedule and work. Weekends belong to D, we all know that…….. But as said, I am finally stepping onto the ice on Tuesday. I am super excited, and a bit nervous. I already know my feet are going to be hurting like hell of course.

We are having company over tonight too, which is always refreshing. I will be making meatballs and potatoes, very Swedish.
