My birthday was great!! Mom and I went out for a early dinner to Topeka’s Steakhouse and then we did some shopping (Michaels and Ukrops)…on the way home we stopped at Coldstone and I got my birthday ice cream and it was heavenly!!!!!!! I think I talked to just about everyone on the phone Friday too…it was nice!

So, then we come to Saturday…the morning and afternoon were great. I spent some time playing with the dogs outside. Later in the evening something strange started to happen…my eyelids (top and bottom) started to swell up. I was starting to look like the elephant man! It was a little strange and scarey. So, I just carried on with my day hoping it would just go away.

Then came Sunday, I woke up and my eyelids were so swollen it was almost completely shut. I was freaking out!!!! The swelling did go down some in the early afternoon but not enough as far as I was concerned. I knew I would be going to the doctor on Monday!!

So, Monday came and yes I did go to the doctor. I waited an hour and was told to leave and come back, so I did. Now for the fun…I have an upper resperitory infection, a double ear infection, and a sinus infection. The URI is probably what caused the swelling in my eye. Fun, huh!!! No, not really!!!

So, that is how my birthday weekend went…a little fun and a little scarey!!!!
