Recovering slowly.
Our Thanksgiving was good, everything was really tasty, and the turkey came out fantastic in the NuWave!
I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk cooking the turkey in the NuWave if it was going to come out bad, but it cooks whole chickens just fine, so why not a turkey?
The fresh thawed turkey cooked in a little under 3 hours, and it came out very moist, tender, and juicy, and tasted exactly like it would taste in the regular oven, so yeah, it can cook a whole turkey in less time than an oven.
But I am just now starting to recover from a spider bite that happened when I laid down to rest early Thanksgiving morning after being awake all night Wednesday cleaning the house and getting things ready.
I didn't know it was a spider bite until yesterday though when Sebastian found the bite marks using a flashlight to look at my right leg.
I laid down Wednesday morning to rest, never felt a thing, but within a few hours, my right leg, left leg, torso, and both arms, were red, swollen, and throbbing in pain.
I could hardly walk, it took help getting around the house, it was soo painful trying to walk, both of my legs were huge and red, I had no idea what had happened.
We thought it may have been a circulatory issue, but Sebastian found the bite mark yesterday.
I have no idea what kind of spider it was, but it caused such a mess with my body.
I am still swollen on my right leg where it bit me just below the knee cap on the inside of my leg.
I had a hard time finishing making the Thanksgiving meal, but I did, then we ate, and then I laid down on the couch and that's where I've been pretty much non-stop since.
I've only gotten up to use the bathroom, but then right back to the couch to keep my legs elevated.
My whole body was red and swollen, my arms, hands, part of my neck, it was really awful.
This stupid bite has caused me to be down and unable to do anything at all, so I am behind on work, the house is a mess, I'm still in pain and just feeling totally tired and useless.
It sucks.
But our meal was good, the teens enjoyed every bite, they have eaten all of the leftovers already too...LoL
Ok, back to the couch I go, sitting up causes the still swollen parts to start throbbing in pain, so I need to go lay down again.
Later days.
