three cheers for a staph infection!
when i got my ears stretch on tuesday, i was at 12 and then we skipped 10 and went to 8s. they were sore, and they were sore the next day but thats normal. but not until last night, my neck really hurt. but i just thought maybe im getting a cold.
then today i went to lunch and i noticed that my neck, especially on my left gland was swollen and hard. and my ear was red. a couple hours later it started to hurt much worse, my ear and my neck. then i went to tylers and noticed my ear was swollen and hard on my lobe. and i was like, do you think its infected? and we just thought it was nothing.
after i went to matts and his mom saw and said that i should take them out before it gets worse, and i said that i cant do it on my own because they are on really tight. so matt and i went to the place where i got them done and talked to the piercer, and he said it was normal. but i asked about my neck and he said that he didnt know and maybe its from sleeping on it. so i said ok and we went on our merry way.
then it really really hurt, and i started to freak out because my neck was hot and red and puffy and same with my ear. so we got pliers and took them out, but it hurt so bad that i started to cry. right when i took them out my ear got even worse. so i went home and my mom said that we should go to urgent care of the hospital. since our insurance doesnt cover any urgent care places in town we went to the hospital. and when i got there they saw me and said that it was either a staph or a type of strep since it was in my lymph nodes too. but he said that he thinks its a staph infection because there is a red line going down my neck, i have a fever and because it got worse in a matter of hours definately meant something.
he said that it was past the stage of oral medication because it wouldnt do much, so i had to get an I.V. that sucked. i have to keep the I.V. thing in and go back tomorrow morning to get more medication and i have to go back for the next couple of days. this sucks. i feel like shit. they said that i might have to get all that crap drained too. that would fucking suck so bad.
i swear i have bad luck with this kind of junk.
