what.a.day.
[edit: first paragraph--deleted.]
Anyway.
I think my lip got bit by a bug yesterday at the Crony Party. My lip got swollen, and numb. Eventually, it got bigger and bigger, and I started to get more scared. I got home, and went straight the the hospital. They made me stay overnight, because they weren't sure if it was a bug bite. Apparently, it could easily happen due to stress or I might have had an allergic reaction to something I ate that day. Odd. After a shot of Benadryl and steroids, I was sent home this morning. I'll be going to the hospital for five days straight to get these shots daily, now.
Today, the whole right side of my face was swollen and numb. My lip is purple, and occasionally bleeds (ewww...). I could barely see out of my right eye, and obviously that scared me. After my shots and meds, I'm feeling a lot better. The swelling has decreased, and so has the numbness. I'm hoping it will be gone by Thursday, because I'm not going to prom with half a swollen face! I've been sleeping all day, because these meds get me dizzy and drowsy but I'm extremely bored and I WANT TO DO SOMETHING BUT I CAN'T.
Anyway. As if all that wasn't bad enough, I was trying on my prom dress so my mom could alter it for me. There's a huge tag hanging off of it that's covered in thick plastic, right? Well, while slipping it on, the tag's edge went right into my RIGHT eye. Popped a vein, blood vessel...whatever you want to say it is. But my right eye is now blood red, and it hurts. Today is such a sucky day, except for the fact that having this swollen lip means I get to eat lots of flava-ice and popsicles.
And we're also ordering pizza? yes.
I also have the day off of work for tomorrow, because apparently the swelling should decrease by then, but there will be pain for the next couple days. Rock on, bitches.
