So I've been sick since Friday. Low grade fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes that sort of thing. And I determined that all I needed was rest and fluids and I'd get better.
Well my lower lip started acting up. As in it looked like it had leprosy and was constantly painful. Then I got sores inside my mouth and on the tip of my tongue. So I thought I'd wait until I got back home then see a doctor out by my parents since I got home on saturday the 18th.
Last night I spent an hour and a half sobbing because the pain was so intense that I couldn't sleep, and at 3:30 I'd finally had enough and went to the ER. Thankfully it was empty and I had the fastest trip to the ER ever. I was only there for 2 1/2 hours all told.
Final determination is that I've got a bacterial infection in my gums (put me on anti-bacterial meds), fever blisters on my lip that proceeded to get a viral infection (anti-viral for that) and that I had achieved 'I see Jesus coming and I'm scared' level of pain (7 for those who are wondering) so they put me on lortab.
Hopefully this all clears up in a few days but I could really use some well wishes right about now.
