Last Friday my sister came up from L.A to celebrate a late Rosh Hashnanah (thank goodness it wasn't Yom Kippur) which I was very honored being that is considered a high holiday. We had a great time catching on all the family drama/gossip. Sunday she left so I ran to my plastic surgeon to get my bi-monthly shots. Mind you on Wednesday I started my retin-a treatment for 3 days so I finished the process on Saturday.
I go to my surgeons on Sunday and he starts to put this numbing topical on my face so the shots don't hurt as bad. 3 seconds after he puts the topical on my face its starts to feel like its on fire!!
I'm trying to stay calm and not make a stink, so finally after 10 minutes he takes the topical off and administers the shots and I go home. When I get home, my son is running a temperature and has a massive headache.I take care of him, finish up what I need to do around the house and go to bed.
I wake up the next morning and my face around my eyes are swollen and scabbed up.... THIS IS MY LUCK PEOPLE! My kiddo still has a headache and fever (going on for almost 24 hours) take care of him all Monday. Tuesday my face is looking a little better, but my son still has a headache and fever (almost 48 hours) so I call my friend that's a primary care physician. I'm telling him my sons symptoms and he says "this isn't normal, there a small possibility that he could have meningitis because hes showing signs of it" that was enough for me to fly him to the ER, (here goes my rant) I went in on Tuesday at 6:00pm the ER looked like it was a fricking Friday night!! Hardly any place to sit and 95% I'm sure didn't have health insurance (most looked homeless) Before you all think what a bitch, let me tell you, I pay almost 600.00 a month to have coverage for my son and I. I don't know about you all but that's a lot of money that I don't have now a days. However, these people are getting medical care for free? Hell, why am I paying then? OK, that's my bitch!! :)
Now back to my baby.....turns out he had a bad sinus infection that was causing the headache, fever and neck stiffness.....poor baby!
As for my face, I'm sure I have another week until I look normal again LOL :)
So there you have it, my crazy week!!
