Swelling


Oh man what a week. Really it started over 2 weeks ago when what seemed like a harmless under the skin pimple developed on my chin. Then last week, around Wednesday, I went to the doc to get the large swollen chin checked. Cellulitis... OK so Anti-biotics then. Big stinky pills every 6 hours with food. UGH!

Then Monday hits and I wake up with a puffy face. At first this is amuzing. Steph says I look younger. The doc says I need to go to the hospital and go on I.V. anti-biotics. So off I go. I spent the next 5 days with an I.V. line in my hand and regular visits to the hospital for more meds. But everyday I was getting worse and worse until I looked like an alien, a sick alien at that!


It was much less funny by Friday morning... Finally they determined that the anti-biotics weren't helping and took the I.V. out. Now I go to a dermatologist on Monday and will hopefully get some relief from the sandpaper skin and grotesque look.
