Infections
So this damn ear infection is still going strong. I still have 1 day of meds left. Don't want to go back to the Dr but dont' really have a choice. My eye isn't really clearing up but on the plus side at least it isn't getting worse. I almost wish it would so that I could put some drops in it and get over it. I am so sick of wearing no make up and glasses. Wearing lip stick doesn't count because it wears off so fast.
On the other hand the infections could be alot worse. Case example; sister CH. CH had her nipple pierced about 11 days ago. Last Thursday it was about 3x the size of her other nipple. So the next night, E and I take her back to the place she had it pierced at. CH had been to the dr Friday morning and was told that it was not infected and to go back to the piercing place. The piercer told her that it swelled too much and the jewellery was too small hence why the nipple was so big. So she takes the smaller bar bell out and squeezed out the puss. At this point E and I each have one of CH's hands (locked in a freaking vice grip) and both avert our eyes to control the vomit reflex. This was truly the most disgusting thing that I have ever seen. Lesson learned here: Never ever put foreign metal objects in your nipple. So all is fine until Sat. CH feels worse and almost feverish. So she spends all day Sunday on the couch. We were supposed to go to the Pub for her bday with R and LC. So I went to the Pub and dragged CH out later that night. By Monday (her actual bday) she was in so much pain that she couldn't move. Dragged herslef to a "Nazi Dr". Her body completely rejected the metal and spread a massive infection to all of her lymph nodes (including the one's in her groin). Holy Freaking Shit!!!! So the Dr took out her piercing and she is miserable on antibiotics. Last night she was slightly better and even went to work today.
