Okay, so I know my blogs have been a leetle down this week. Maybe it's because I have an infection on my FACE. I've been optimisitic, but when my topical thing was 5 days....aka tomorrow is the 4th day...and I still have this thing loud and proud... I'm just pretty frustrated. My doctor doesnt like to be super aggressive. I think I'm done with him. I looked in the mirror and after 5 days, it looks a LITTLE better, but not as good as it should. *sigh* I feel like a damn freak show...Let alone the fact that I cant wear makeup there, cant go to the gym really, cant tan, cant even sleep b/c I cant sleep where my chin could touch my sheets. Just lemme vent here for a sec.
I read online that this is often treated with an oral antibiotic AND a topical thing. I want the oral antibiotic damnit. I'm calling tomorrow morning and if he (1) makes me come in or (2) wont give it to me, I'm over him. *sigh* This just sucks b/c I'm paying for this out of pocket, too b/c of the way my insurance is. I really dont want to go BACK to the doctor to have him prescribe the meds he should have prescribed on MONDAY.
To give you an idea, I cant even BLOW. MY. NOSE. b/c once I blow it, the bottom of the tissue might have touched my chin. So, I throw tissue one away and get another. It takes like 3 tries. Then, like 3 times per day, I have to take a soapy cloth (paper towel) and gingerly wash it while part of the "honey crust" scab (as the internet calls it) comes off so I can put the medicine directly on the wound. Hot? Yeah. Try having it on your face.
I'm bogged down. And I have a hole in my face. And googling pictures of my condition freaked me out. And I want someone to just come over and take care of me...or rub my feet..or..or...I just want to whine and thank you for listening. Done.

I do not volunteer to rub your feet, but I'll accompany you to a pedicure. ;)
seriously though, I had the oral antibiotic and it cleared it right up, no problemo. maybe you do need a new doctor. if it's out of pocket you really should feel like it's worth your money! best of luck tomorrow!
Aww, I'm sorry Jackie! Sounds like you do need a new Dr.
The wiping of the wound sounds painful, lover! I'm so sorry!! (It kind of makes me nervous to think about it) Let me know if you need anything, or just want to come over and plop. Love Love.
jackiiiiie. i'm frowning super hard right now for you. get better, okay? and don't be down in the dumps. if it helps at all, i have like five mosquito bites on. my. FACE. i look ridiculous. and don't worry about bogged down blogging; it happens sometimes. : )
Poor Jackie. I still like my suggestion for a treatment. Beach & sun. I'll be at the airport. See you in five.
