whiski_sourYesterday, the right side of my face by my ear hurt and felt like there was a knot under the skin and I noticed two bumps by my right eye. They were annoying, but I didn't think much of them.
This morning I woke up looking like an extra in a low budget gore picture. The right side of my face, mostly by my ear, and my right eye were swollen and painful to touch. My jaw and the right side of my neck hurt, too, and those two insignificant little bumps were bigger, sorer, and itchy.
Oh, goodie.
Over the course of the day, the swelling has gone down, but the soreness remains. The bumps are still there, and they still hurt and itch.
I consulted with Dad when he got home from work because I have no health care and no money to see a doctor and even if I did, I wouldn't see one without consulting someone else because I'm lousy at making decisions about my own health unless it's obvious I require medical attention and even then I might waver a second or two.
Anyway, Dad thinks I might have been bitten by something due to the itchy bumps and it's affected the whole side of my face. That seems pretty likely, though I've never reacted to a bug bite like this before. And it eases my fears that I've found a new way to injure myself in my sleep.
I suppose I'll give it another day or two. If it's not better by then, I guess I'll...do something. I don't know what.
Something other than whine, I suppose.
