The Rest of the Story…
Here’s an excerpt from keithchancey.com. A follow-up to “A Mexican Feast”. Enjoy!
So, a couple days ago I gave you the rundown from our awesome vacation time in Cabo. Here’s the rest of the story. What happened next was, I guess you could say, still awesome, but in a totally different way. Here you go…
Upon returning home, I noticed that my foot was hurting a little bit. Remember that proverb, “all the days of the afflicted are bad, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast”? Bad is a perception. It’s a matter of perspective. I had stepped on a sea urchin, was bitten and poisoned. This problem led to a trip to the doctor. As the pain spread from my ankle to my calf to my thigh to my hip and on to my sciatic nerve, it quickly became a trip to the ER. After several tests, the doctors informed me that the sea urchin’s poison had caused me to have shingles. I didn’t know what shingles was, but I knew it wasn’t good. I was infected and hurting. I couldn’t move around the house and I could hardly stomach my antibiotics.
