Morning, couch.
I am up and about. I went to bed "early" (by that I mean earlier than usual, but at a normal time).
T went so-so. I told T about seeing pdoc on Monday and him wanting me to keep my original appointment for next week as a check in. She said it sounds like he is concerned about me and wants to make sure I am okay. I guess she is right.
After T, I went into the walk in clinic because I finally had time and still have no PCP (trying a new one out on the 28th). On Monday, when pdoc gave me my shot, he said it looked like I had a staph infection, so I wanted to get that checked out. I got the same PA that I got when pdoc suggested celulitis on my leg from scratching. She looked at it and said that it does look like it could be and the question would be whether she could get anything to drain out of it or not. She tried and said it was too firm. She did say it was infected though. This time, she ordered a antibiotic shot and put me on oral antibiotics. When the MA came in to give me the shot, he was apologized and said that unfortunately with this medication, it has to be given in the rear. I shrugged. Luckily I am used to getting shots there as that is where I get the shots from pdoc each month. So I am back on antibiotics...I wonder if I will ever stop scratching myself and getting infected sores.
I emailed pdoc last night to let him know I was feeling better and thank him for taking time to fit me into his schedule. I just got an email back saying to try to remember to keep taking my oral medications as well. See him again in 6 days...it will feel odd going in again so soon, but it will probably be good to "check-in" to make sure I am on the road to "stabilazation".
Well, I need to get shoes on an leave for school job, so I can stop and get some sodas on the way in to have throughout the day. I will probably hop on later in the day from my small little room. Have a good day couch.
