Freak a Leek
I was more than a little freaked out on Saturday.
I think I'm better now. No more weirdness, just the little bit that is clearing up now.
I shared with TMI_Chix, and that made me feel better.
Since I actually shared with them, I suppose I can share now.
I got a boil, in a rather private area. And it was really sudden, I barely noticed it before it popped. So I figured, no biggie, I'll just bandage it up and it'll be fine.
Except Friday I noticed that it was rather painful, so I felt around a little bit, and noticed that it was hard and painful in another area. I removed the bandage, and then noticed ANOTHER boil. Much larger, much more painful.
I've never gotten two in a row, and the internet told me that it could be an infection and that I could need antibiotics and that's all I knew about it.
Good news?
It hasn't spread to another one, and it is still a little painful, but much smaller. I assume it's leaking the nastiness out. I've been using Neosporin and keeping it clean and bandaged.
I might not even have to go to the doctor if it doesn't get worse. I'm just not gonna worry about it anymore. Either it'll get better on it's own, or else I'll have to see the doctor, and that's all there is to it. Worrying about it only makes me a sad panda.
I've been sucky lately. We went out for dinner Saturday and I never felt less like celebrating. =( It was still so painful.
I'm ready to promise not to shave, touch, or even look at that area, if it will just be normal again. LOL.
When I am in pain that I didn't cause, I tend to freak out a bit. Like you can't tell with my over dramatic post on Saturday.
We went shopping yesterday, the boys and I. We didn't over spend, hurray! But Derek got rather annoyed by the whole shopping thing and my incessant "stop touching that"/"no, you can't have that"/"stop picking up crap off the floor".
We did good, and I feel better for walking it and getting the exercise. We got rained on a bit, but no downpours or anything.
And we have food! Yay!
Derek is rather excited by the end of school, only this last week and he is free. And officially a 4th grader. That sounds so old. I actually vaguely remember being a 4th grader, and so it seems so weird that he is going to be one already.
He's going to Portland for Lily's birthday on June 22nd, so I get a whole free weekend next week. Sydney is having a birthday party, and gave me almost a month's notice. The only reason we can even go is just cause of luck that they want him up there for his sister's birthday.
Sydney's birthday party just seems to coincide with when I'll not have the kid. I went last year as well. She must have some birthday luck or something. =)
I'm pretty excited about it, and even made my peace with Jesse. I just told him that maybe I was little harsh, but I will be harsh for Ben and for Derek's sake.
It should all blow over. At least I had my say and explained what my problem with his visiting or not visiting was. Now I can feel like I did something about it and that he knows how I feel. Will it change anything? I don't know. I guess we'll see.
In any case. I'm doing much better, everything is going well. I just wish it was already the weekend. Hee hee.
One day off kinda sucks, but it happens.
And in case I forgot to say it today, I love my boyfriend, he is awesome and I am so glad to be home with him. =)
He cut Derek's hair for me last night, even though my kid HATES it. We don't like it much better, but it's pretty hard to cut a kid's hair who won't sit still, and yet he does it.
I gave up after nicking him with the scissors. He told everyone that would listen how I CUT HIM.
Like I did it on purpose! =)
My kid, he's a bucket full of laughs.
