Boiling over
Nov. 8th, 2006 07:51 pmI've developed an inconvenient boil under my thigh, on top of my hamstring. It is very hard, and it feels like it's the size of a baseball.
Being off of work for a few days, I didn't realize how bad it was. It turns out that the seats on the bus are angled in such a way to cause the most pain. But of course.
I could sit in my chair at work for a long period of time, but when I got up, the release of pressure caused me to double over in pain.
One perk of working in the clinic is that I was able to grab a doctor to take a quick look at it. She confirmed that it was "just" a boil, but extremely hard. She gave me a prescription for antibiotics. She said it'll probably be a week before it's ready to be lanced.
Ouch.
Tonight I took two Vicodin. Whee.
