Everyday Randomness

Back From The Doc

Bleh.  Today is such a hot, humid, boring day!  When I say hot I mean hot.  Half the country’s dealing with this heat wave right now, and I so wasn’t ready for it to be in the high 90’s this week!

I drug myself out this morning to Urgent Care to see the doc about these bump things.  I printed out some of the info I found and took it with me.  I’d say it helped because he was kind of hesitant at first about doing the culture, but I basically told him I wanted it no matter what.  I’d rather get have it done and it come back ok than not have it done and find out I should have.  I should hear something on that in about 3 days.

For now I’m back on oral antibiotics, and I’ve got an antibiotic cream to use.   I’m really impressed with the Staphaseptic.  We’ve been using it instead of Neosporin for a few months now, and I have to say I love it.  I’m not wild about the smell, but I got past that pretty easily.  Normally when one of these things pops up it takes days to get to the point where it will drain.  After putting the Staphaseptic on it religiously yesterday, it’s already starting to heal up.  The swelling has gone down tremendously, and it’s not super red and irritated looking anymore.

+1 for Staphaseptic!

Other than my trip to the doc this morning I’ve been lazy all day.  It’s just too hot to do anything, and I haven’t been to sleep yet.  I’m trying to keep myself awake until at least 7pm so I can totally flip my schedule again.  I’m trying to keep myself awake by playing around in Paint Shop Pro, but now I’m just getting bored with it.  I spent most of the night learning how to do photo makeovers.  I’ll post a result or two in a minute.
