Let The Healing Begin!

"Twas a busy day for The Sheep. My Hysterical Mind continues to obsess over our new rash which appeared after a reaction to the adhesive on the cheap bandages which I so carelessly applied to my torso. HM remains convinced, despite all evidence to the contrary, that we have a flesh eating bacteria and no amount of logic thrown at it by my brain's better half, Rational Mind, will sway it.

I spent the day of listening to them bicker back and forth, HM inventing symptoms and statistics from the Center For Disease Control that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we need to write a Living Will within the next ten minutes and RM shaking it's head sadly while pointing out that the rash is clearly subsiding. It was sort of hard to concentrate...

I finally decided to distract Hysterical Mind with a flu shot. These are covered fully under my school's health plan if you use their clinic and it seemed like a good idea with or without the need to distract over-reacting brain cells. There is nothing HM loves more than medical procedures, no matter how minor. It gets all giddy at the thought of possible medical malpractice or random infections. Plus we got all kinds of cool literature outlining potential side effects and what to do should any of these symptoms manifest themselves. This should keep the little feller occupied for a few hours so Rational Mind and I can take a break.

I came home to a flashing light on the answering machine and a little piece of good news. One that should shut up Hysterical Mind for the foreseeable future. The x-ray results are in and, drum roll pu-leeeeeze:

I no longer have pneumonia!

Hey, it may have taken me five months, but I finally got a clear chest x-ray. There has been healing of epic proportions over here at the Sheep household, lemme tellya! My Rational Mind, who has been championing our slow but steady road to recovery, is feeling quite vindicated at the moment.

In celebration, I decided to take another picture of the Feather And Fan Scarf. There was to be one yesterday, but I inadvertently deleted it before saving it to the computer and I was too tuckered out from all the rash-obsessing and sock-knitting to take another. So here it is, in all it's glory:

Its got feathers, its got fans...its got more than a few errors, but we're just going to ignore those for the moment.

So Hysterical Mind, Rational Mind and the Sheep who houses them are all pleasantly occupied this evening. There is some disturbing reading material for one, a clean bill of lung health for another and some knitted goodness for the latter.

Gotta keep everybody happy...
