Well for the last week I know I haven't been puttin 100% into gather and i know some of ya'll have noticed.. anyways its because i've been in so much pain. I had a boil/risin come up under my left arm well everyone knows u can usually do minor things at home to get rid of it like hot salt soaks and in my case home romedy of potato loaded with salt i tried several home romedies and nothin seem to be bringin it to a head... well last night i statred runnin a high fever and could barely stay awake... so today when i got up i was in so much pain we went to the hospital.. they said i also had staff infection in it and that it had been goin around bad they had already seen 3 others today. Anyways they said they were gonna have to lance it which means cut it open and let it drain... well because of my anxiety attacks they gave me some nerve meds which calmed me right down.. Anyways they said they were gonna put novacaine in it and then i wouldn't feel a thing...THEY LIED! I FELT EVERYTHING! it was so very PAINFUL! it took about 20 mins to be done they packed it with galls gave me some vicodin and sent me home yet i got to go back weds... to get it repacked. it still hurts just not as bad mainly soar now but i still ain't aloud to bathe right now which i know sounds bad but thats there rules i can't pick anything too heavey up with my left arm either. anyways when i got home i passed out on the couch and slept 6hrs before wakin up not too long ago.. joe was so good to me tonight he woke me up with a cooked meal of pepper steak...aww at least one thing was nice today. Anyways i just wanted to share why i've been so out of it and haven't done a whole lot latly i'll keep everyone updated..
