talked to a nurse about my ribs hurting, didn't mention blood because that would probably mean getting tests done, i'm assuming it's just because i'm coughing too much which is probably a cold so i may ask for some cough medication

*possible trigger/tmi* i can't get the taste of blood out of my mouth though. idk if i'm bleeding in my mouth also because i've coughed/thrown up blood before and normally it's not like there's a permanent taste of blood in my mouth

i'm trying to get my hands on some polysporin but i'm getting kinda worried, i know logically it would be smart to go to the doctor but then there's questions and prying and i have my doctor on my tail enough as it is. i'm kind of worried about touching it to even put polysporin on it though, it's partially ripped off and it really hurts. it's getting too noticeable because i can't always hide a giant gauze/bandage with hair. i can hear fine in that ear (although not so well when it's covered) but i'm scared where the earlobe is ripped it will fall off or something i get grilled if i go to the doctor though

ahh worried
