That itsy bitsy spider...

deserves a slow, torcherous and painful death!

I finally have an appt. with my doctor about all these damn absesses. To think this all started a month ago from a spider bite! Last week I went back to the Dr. (but not my own, another dr. with the same medical group) with two more absesses. Since their own surgery department couldn't see me the same day he told me to go to Urgent Care. My blasted insurance better cover it, they've already jerked me around over another ER visit at the beginning of the year. Anyway, the hospital was pretty cool about it, they've been seeing more than a dozen absesses a day there, and most of them have been MRSA... lovely, something I can have for the rest of my life I guess... they gave me an IV, with antibiotics and then morphine before they gave me a local for the incisions. Morphine isn't all it's cracked up to be, but at least I was in a "who cares" mood afterwards.

It appears that I have yet another absess, right next to one of my recent incisions, and also a swollen area under my arm. I don't know how much more of this I can take, mentally more than physically, but it's becoming very trying. I hope there is an end to this SOON!
