Updating my chalazion experience
Got sick of the swollenness this morning and went to the Urgent Care. Luckily it’s more like a regular appointment, so $40 copay (ER copay is $500! And I’m on a “good” private insurance plan for “healthy” people, can’t imagine what “sick” person would have to be paying)
Anyway. In case you do not want to watch
I got an IV drip. It was listed as a “face infection” which makes sense because when my pain medication wears off I can feel pain/pressure from my eye to my cheek around the gum line. My neighbor works at that hospital so she worked on me which was really cool. She explained it was very aggressive antibiotic treatment. The first medication was pumped as is directly in which hurt a bit! A lot of heat and I felt it travel up my arm, kinda gross lol. Then the rest was a normal slow IV drip.
I will get more IV in the morning and the same doctor will look at me. If I look much improved I should be free to go. If not he will send me immediately to an ophthalmologist. I kinda wanna do that anyway because I know this thing needs to be drained, I’d rather he do it than for me to wake up one morning with eye stuff dripping down my face into my mouth LOL. But maybe if the infection and swelling is still there, he won’t be able to do it anyway.
I was prescribed oral antibiotics, 1 pill 4x a day “clindamycin hcl” 300 mg. I really hope all this works! I started the IV at around 12pm or so… and it is now 8:30. I woke up from a nap and my pain meds had worn off and I felt terrible! I hope all if this will kick in quick. As long as they work, because I’m fed up, worried, fed up of being worried.
I am still cleaning using my Rue Fennel compound and taking Colloidal silver orally and as eye drops. I believe homeopathic remedies are AMAZING at prevention and perhaps at the onset of an illness but it seems mine is too far gone and I don’t want my mother to worry
I will paint my nails tomorrow so long as nothing dummy happens. Not sure what color yet! I owe a black and purple manicure but I’m kinda wanting something brighter, merrier, girlier. more glittery! Just to help my mood. I owe green too ok I know that.
Thanks so much for your kind words. It means a lot to know there are people that care! I know a lot of people use the internet to sit as a troll poking at every person but in the end they are only on themselves. The internet can bring many kinds of people together from all over the world. That is an amazing gift, to be able to connect with people you otherwise would never know about, so its nice to share my life and to know what’s going on with yours as well.
