Who would have ever thought that a minor jab from a pen would turn out to be something so serious. A jab to which all you see is a little dot where the pen ink would have been.
Without any more details, that's pretty much what happened.
It has been a hell of a week for me.
I went in 2 Sundays ago because it got infected and waited, like an idiot and got yelled at for it, 3 days after I noticed it, to have it looked at. A Tetanus shot, 2 vials of blood for testing and 3200mg of antibiotics later am out the door..ugh.
Well, yesterday while at work, I noticed red bumps everywhere.. ugh.. another trip to the Doc. End result?
Another SHOT! This time Prednisone and a change in the antibiotics. It seems I had an allergic reaction to the initial antibiotics I was given and since I had no known allergies, no one would have known. Well now I know. Now am on new Antibiotics for damn 10 days when I had 7 left of the other one lol and damn steroids to take. I hate taking pills. Now I have pills up the wazoo take.. sheesh! I am red and splatchy all over!!
So, my word of advice, don't be so stubborn like me and take care of your health as things occur and don't wait till the last minute. I've been poked three times the past week and didn't even enjoy it..pffft..
