Tales of Lumpy Face part 3
Sep. 11th, 2009 08:50 pmMy face is less lumpy today!
The swelling has gone down some in my face and it's not quite as tender as it was. My eye was still swollen and ouchy, but the bites themselves have shrunk. Ice got rid of most of my eye swelling pretty quickly.
I took Benedryl thinking that maybe it might help with the swelling and the itching and not knock me on my ass. I was wrong, at least about the last bit. I took a two hour nap.
So, no doctor today. Hopefully, I'll continue to improve over the weekend and I won't need to go (there's been some urging that I go anyway, just in case, and I appreciate it, but I wouldn't be surprised if my last words were "Nah, I don't need to go to the doctor. I'll be fine" because I'm just that way). If not, the hospital is right down the street.
Now watch me jinx myself by posting about my improvement.
