Oh boy, this wasn’t the week I’d anticipated…

Friday, I was sitting in the car, waiting for The Husband, who was dropping off something to a friend at the Knott’s Berry Farm employee entrance. Naturally, I was reading 😊 When my nose starting running, I wiped it to find bright red blood! I don’t think I’ve had a nose bleed since I was a kid and this one was a doozy. I put my head back but I didn’t realize I should be pinching to create a clot, so by the time The Husband got back, I was in a panic. He took me back to the guard station, where they called their Knott’s EMT’s, who came out and helped stem the flow. Everyone was so nice and helped calm me down.

I have continual congestion because in California, there’s always something in bloom. I’d woken up extra congested that morning, so we’re thinking it was just a combination of allergies and what seemed to be a sinus infection. By Friday evening, I had a temperature of 101. We were supposed to participate in the Moving Day Parkinson’s Disease fundraiser walk and activities but I was like a dishrag on Saturday – no energy, off and on fever, and another nose bleed – no way I could have gone. So disappointing. But we did raise money for the cause, so thanks to all who contributed!!
