yep, this gal here went to the ER :( i missed work today b/c i had a LARGE abscess near my girl areas and it finally drained after sleeping with the heating pad. i had the run around about it and i just wanted it gone. i went to urgent care first after work on monday b/c it really hurt and was big, and i thought they are open late they can take care of it. OMG, they did not!!! they left me in pain b/c it was near my girl area? ummm, cover my area up, get a scalpel and cut this thing open so it can drain!!! they did not and home with the heating pad i went and it busted this morning and to the ER i wnt for further evaluation. the pain is 20 times less and it is draining and i am on some good antibiotics. phew, that was my day today and now i can do a thing we all take for granted...i can SIT DOWN without pain!
**on to day 8 and 9 of the july blog challenge**
day 8: life in 5 years:
in 5 years i see life as: me being alive, dropped 15 lbs, married to my love with at least 1 child, i should be 34 years old, i hope to be in a different city/the same city as my love, i hope to continue to mature in wisdom, i hope to be living in my OWN place, i hope to still be blogging, and also to be in grad school for a PhD, medical school, or working a nice paying job. i will still be in love with candy, sweet tea and diet drinks! the next 5 years are going to be great! ** how are your next 5 years?**
day 9: food philosophy:
mmm, food! if it looks good, cooked well done, eat it! i think i am more of a drinks person than i am a food person. i would rather be hungry than thirsty. i have food allergies so i have learned not to be picky b/c my choices are limited as it. food is good, we need it, eat up and enjoy! lately i have had a love for chips and salsa and pasta dishes. **what is your take on food?**
~eloquently rambling...
Oh goodness! I can't believe urgent care did nothing! So glad it's draining now and that the pain has gone down.
ReplyDeletei know Jen, i could not either but i guess they have to cover themselves suing wise. who knows really?
