Well, yesterday morning I woke up at 4:30 in the morning with burning eyes, chills, and a sick stomach. So I called my doctor, and she said go to the ER. I wake my sister up to keep an eye on my kids because DH is working. I get to the ER around 5:30... the place is empty, only one or two patients in the whole place. They take me right in, and I think this is awesome, I will be done in no time at all.....
Well the doctor sees me, and calls plastic surgery. I am at Memorial Hospital in Worcester. Plastic surgeons are doing rounds at sister hospital about 1 mile away. They will come between 8 to 9...okay not too long it is now 6:30 I can wait. Well 10:00 comes, no plastic surgeon. Finally ER doctor says the wont be here to at least noon, so you can wait for threm or she can do it now. At this point I have been sitting in this little room all by myself, no books, no tv, no one to talk to. I already read the newspaper hours ago....I am at the point where if the give me a needle I will do it myself! I tell her I don't want to wait anymore, so please do it now. Well they are busy so she says she'll be right back. She comes back after 11:00, I am going crazy now. (She was very nice, and I don't blame her at all).
She numbs it, and starts working.....OUCH, that hurts so much, it is like someone is sticking a red hot poker in my skin and digging around in there. She numbs it some more, it still hurts, she numbs it again...it still hurts but not as much. It is a bearable pain.
She is finally done... I am driving home and the whole left side of my face is burning. I go home take tylenol, and the pain finally starts going away. Day from HELL!!! I was there until around 12:00. Six and a half hours for a boil! Or excuse me the real word is Subaceaus Cyst. Now I have a big bandage on my face until Monday when she tells me I should still go see the plastic surgeon to make sure she got it all out. She better have gotten it all out, because I don't want to ever go through this again. I had three kids naturally, and I do not remember it hurting this much.
Sorry Linda, no pictures...my almost two year old threw my camera in the pool the other day, and I don't have another one. Waiting for it to dry out and see if it will work still. What a week, is all I can say!
