Where has Tamera been?

Oh faithful blog readers, I feel so bad to have abruptly stopped blogging last Wednesday! I always look forward to your visits and comments. The reason I dropped the ball is that I got really sick and spent several days in the hospital. At the Blondie concert on August 25th, my foot went through a gap in the floor right next to the stage, and my leg was lodged up to my shin. I ended up with a bruise and a little bit of "rug burn" on the inside of my left shin -- it didn't look that serious. But a week later it turned into a nasty infection. My doctor prescribed oral antibiotics but they didn't work very well. Then I shot a wedding for nine hours on September 5th, and by the time I got home I could see that I needed to go to the hospital. After a couple of trips to the ER over three days, they finally admitted me and gave me round the clock care.

I'm sad to say it will probably be at least two more weeks before I'm able to resume blogging here. I can't walk yet, and even if I could, I've got a backlog of "real" work that will keep me tied up for some time. But please don't forget to come back and visit! I promise to blog faithfully once I get back on track!

The photo above was taken by my friend Charlotte as I was receiving care in the ER. Yes I'm grinning like an idiot, but in reality I was scared to death, nauseated, in terrible pain, and very grateful to have my boyfriend Pat and my good friend Charlotte there to hold my hand.
