From Drama to Joy in two days!!!

Mini crisis over the last couple days!  after itching my ankle all day at work on saturday with my shoe, I got home ready to get changed to go out to Cowboys via clare and Amy's place for predrinks, I took one look at my feet and paniced. My right ankle was red and swollen sticking out twice as fat as my left, and then the top of my left foot had swollen up, both where I had been bitten by something. But iv had bites all over my legs (attractive I know but that's Orlando life) since I got here, but none of them got like this. So I found allergy tablets I had and took one after googling they could be used for insect bites. God bless google! And then thought there are loads of tablets and creams for bites at work, typical, if only I had noticed my fat feet before I left work that night. I knew they felt different but I thought it was just itchy bites again. 

So instead of going out with everyone to cowboys, I went back to bed after sitting with the girls for an hour at Clare's, and propped my feet up on three pillows and kept them cool with damp clothes all night. Then yesterday  morning they had gone down a bit, but still felt like there was excess fluid under my skin and wobbles when I walk - what a fatty - but Went to work  for a cheeky 6 hour shift which Was fine. I wore black ballet pumps to work with no tights instead of my work shoes that have straps across them as that was pressing into my left foot that was puffy on top.

So sorry about the not so Disney joy update today, but thought I share with you my little drama and proove that you don't need to be envious of my magical life style because sometimes things get in the way, I mean I had 6 hours spare to have a hang over and sunbathe yesterday but spent it sat inside with my feet propped up on pillows, not so glam. Oh well, after all, tomorrow, is another Disney day!! 

In other news, I have an American cell phone now that my Disney buddies will be happy to know. I bought cheerys brand new one off her as her iphone is now unlocked so she didn't need it.  I can now be reached and respond without the use of a free wifi hot spot!! message me on fb for my number, and call me maybe!! It's so cute, haven't had a new phone in years, and was only 10 bucks! What a bargain!!

.... Update after work yesterday, went to see the paramedics at work and they said for me to take antihistamines/get Benadryl for the bites so I took one non drowsy antihistamine at work today and did my 6 hour shift and it must have worked because it hasn't gotten any worse and I survived standing up for that long. Hopefully in a few days it will go, but tomorrow I will go get some Benadryl before work and some spray too. And also will be nice to have it with me if this ever happens again, what a mini drama! I'm shattered, night!

....update continues, i totally forgot to upload this to my blog yesterday so you're getting all the info at once! this morning the swelling has gone right down, just got a funny looking red mark on my ankle where something weird defo bite me because it looks different than all my other bites. I was back at the pool this morning like I should be, swam 18 lengths of the pool, and had a couple hours in the sun.  off to work without limping, yaay!! Disney joy continues at its best!! 

.... And the joy just keeps coming! I'm on my way home from work now on Monday night, had a good day and was made even better when my manager made an announcement to the staff at the end if day meeting, and gave me a "four keys fanatic" card which is something you get for being extra safe, courteous, show ready and/or efficient at work. He gave me my card for "always maintaining a positive image and energy, your smile is contagious amongst the UK Pavillion" and he also added that all cast members are at a high level of enthusiasm and energy and Disney presence,  but it has been noticed by all other staff including the other managers, that I am just above that high level! So chuffed with myself, my natural Disney joy is making itself known with everyone around me without me even trying!!
