sick again, damnit

thursday, october 22, 2009

so, today is thursday and ive been sick again since monday.  my right breast is inflamed, red, swollen, and so so sore.  that is where the tick bit me.  i went to the emergency room in bakersfield monday and the dr agreed that it looked like lyme's disease, and did some blood work, took a chest xray (??) and gave me 21 days worth of doxycycline (sp). i wont get the test results, but erin can request them in about a week.  im possitive it's lyme's disease. when i showed the dr the paperwork from the er in oregon, when i first went to see the dr about the bulls eye rash where the tick bit me, she was puzzled about the antibiotic he'd given me.  she said that antibiotic was for a staph infection, not lyme's disease.  i knew that dr in oregon had given me the wrong antibiotic!  if he'd given me doxycycline (sp), i would prolly have not gotten sick a week or so ago, and now.  the other week when i was so sick they diagnosed me with h1n1 (swine) flu, but i really dont think it was swine flu because i didnt even have a sore throat or cough, just all over aches and pains really bad high fever, and oh so tired.

anyway, i am on the right antibiotics now, am very tired and sore, and hope i am feeling better in a few days.  we are in los angeles now and will try to find my great grandparents grave site today, then prolly go to the beach for a day or two, then find my grandpa's grave site who is burried at the same place as bradley nowell (lead singer of sublime). hopefully will get to see my old friend khiem at some point since he lives here in la somewhere, then on our way back to san francisco to see my friend ian, then next friday the best boyfriend ever comes to monterey!!!

so, that's all i got for now.  light a candle for me, and keep me in your prayers so i can feel better soon, because this really bites, yep.
