Jaw Update

For those of you that are wondering I went to the Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist this morning, and he said that I still have an infection in my jaw, but the medicine I'm taking for the allergic reaction should help it greatly. He also said I have something like the mumps, but not the mumps. Whatever that's supposed to mean. I'm to visit him again in another 6 weeks unless the swelling flares up again, and then I have to see him right away. It was kind of hard for him to tell because my face is read, and somewhat swollen. It looks like I got a HORRIBLE sunburn on it. I'm a little tired of visiting doctors this week. I have been to 3 different ones in less than 24 hours. The dermatologist said if I hadn't come in yesterday to see her then I would be in the hospital with this allergic reaction. That's how bad it is. The only bad thing about this medicine is it literally feels like I'm on fire. Yesterday it made my lips tingle and burn, and today it did the same thing to my chin and neck. So I guess we will see where it heads next. Prayers are still appreciated. It's weird. So I put an ice pack on it, and that certainly seemed to take care of the problem. Please pray that I get some sleep tonight. I haven't been able to sleep for the past two nights..so needless to say I'm running on energy, and it's NOT fun. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. Tomorrow my mom and I are heading to Charleston to dog and duck sit for my sister and brother-in-law who are spending a week in Spain for their honeymoon. They weren't really able to take one when they got married since they both teach school so this is well needed for both of them, and then on to the beach for the rest of the week. Should be an interesting time since I can't stay in the sun for very long.

Thank you http://mrdearybury.blogspot.com for helping me to come up with my Blog Name. Also to http://macaronincheeseagain.blogspot.com for helping me not be so blog illiterate. :) I appreciate both of you!

I will try and post through out the week while I'm on vacation as Internet will allow. Thanks for reading!
