Just getting home from the ER. Stupid stupid infected leg. Stupid leg that is supposed to be "completely healed" by now, and is a gaping open nasty mess.
First I get one young doc, then he brings in the head doc, who drew on me with pen. ??? The red swollen area is the length of my hand now. I got sent home with two antibiotics for my infection (which started, what, LAST Sunday), and some painkiller. Somehow I have to get up early, get my meds, and wash my work clothes before work Monday. (I was going to say tomorrow, but it already is tomorrow.)
Two of my nicest co-workers made me promise to go to the ER after work. I know I looked and felt horrible. I also have either food poisoning or stomach flu on top of it all. I had to keep running away all day when I thought I couldn't hold my stomach down.
I'm trying hard to keep the pills they gave me down right now. I'm both queasy as can be and hungry right now. I didn't really get much food today. I have some sherbet I might try here in a little bit. Then to bed, cause I'm exhausted. I could sleep pretty good if I took that painkiller, but you have to take it with food, and it makes you nauseated, which I already am. Yet if I can't sleep again.... Argh, stupid stupid leg.
stupid work,
surgery
