WOW! What a week. 2 hospital visits in one week. Only me. Last week for my eye and the on Thursday, Katelyn and I went to Pat's house for dinner. Pat is the lady we worked with at StrongStart. So we went to her house and her son made pasta with shrimp and it was SO good. After we got home, Katelyn and I decided to go for a walk because we felt like we should so we're walking around Riverside on the path and all of a sudden my hands started tingling and getting hot even if I put them in snow it didn't help. ME- "I think I'm having an allergic reaction. I think we should go home." Katelyn- "Ok let's go." When we were down the street from our house I felt my face started to swell, my nose was swelling and I could feel it and my fingers were swelling aswell. We walked in the door and I told Melissa that I was having an allergic reaction. I ran to the bathroom and took two benedryls and I started getting hives all over my body. I took a cool shower and that didn't help so Melissa said I should go to the hospital and she drove me. Katelyn came with me to the hospital. It didn't take that long for me to see the doctor. While we were waiting in the waiting room and the nurse said to me, "If you start to feel like you can't breathe come and flag me down, I don't want you to just keep sitting here and you can't breathe." .. OBVIOUSLY IM NOT GOING TO JUST SIT IN THE WAITING ROOM AS MY THROAT STARTS TO CLOSE ON ME AND I DIE.. DUH. <-- That is what I was thinking.. What I said was, "Ok, Thank you." With a trying smile because my face was swollen that my lips would make the smiling face. I also felt like my nose was going to explode off of my face. But anyways. The doctor saw me and I survived. I need to get an epi pen because I am allergic to shell fish. The doctor gave me prednisone and some other medicine on top of the two benedryls I ingested before I was transported to the hospital so lets just say when I got home I was feeling pretty good and fell into a small coma :).
Friday was my last day of work at the Manor. I sort of cried for like 2 hours. It was a hard day. When I would go and talk to one of the residents I got tears in my eyes. They were so cute. I loved them all if I haven't already mentioned that LOL. I felt like on my last day they all knew who I was and I didn't have to repeat my name 100 times :(. When I said goodbye to Helen, she asked who was going to sit with her. I had to tell her someone knew would be there soon to sit with her. It broke my heart. And Alice, whenever you leave D Pod, she always tries to follow you out but she can't go out unless she is supervised so I told her she couldn't come with me this time and that I would be back and she said, "Do you promise?" and answered, "Yes I promise, I'll see you soon." and she replied, "Ok, I'll be waiting for you." I had to walk out so fast because I started to cry. They don't know who I am but its like they do in a way. I am so glad I worked there and got to know the people I did. Amanda one of the girls I worked with gave me a card this si my favourite part of the card: "I hope you know how wonderful you have been for the residents, even though they may not remember you or express it you made their days so much brighter." Isn't that so nice! I cried when I read that too! I'm just a ball of crying this week. Whatever its for good reason!

Tonight is our last night with Melissa and tomorrow she is leaving for Prince George for a few days off before the new group comes. Amy, the program coordinator is coming to our house with the Quesnel group and we are going to have end of rotation reflection. WHOOPIE! can't wait...

I packed all of my stuff today and I'm pretty sure both of my luggages are over 50lbs.. which means I will have to pay $50. We cleaned the entire house yesterday and today. It was pretty intense. Tonight we are going skating for the last time in Vander. I love skating. I am also going to knit. 

I will write a new blog when I arrive in Quebec. I hope you enjoy the rest of what the weekend brings you and you have a wonderful week!

I tried to add pictures of my work but its not letting me. I will add them soon

Every day may not be good..
but there's something good in every day!
