I've seen way too many doctors today. What I thought was an ear infection turned out to be a big swollen gland on the side of my jaw near my ear. It's a blockage of the salivary gland or something. I went to my therapist's office this morning and my father came with me because we went from there to the doctor's office to see if we could get in to see him. We left the house at 10am and waited until about 11am for my therapist to finish up her earlier appointment. I arrived at my doctor's office at 11:25am and we waited about an hour in the waiting room then I waited another 15-20 minutes for him to see me. Afterwards we headed home but halfway there my doctor called to say he had gotten me an appointment with an ear, nose, & throat doctor so we had to turn around and go there. at 2:15pm we arrived in his office and after waiting a little bit I got to see him but then we had to go by the pharmacy and wait for my prescriptions to be filled. We were driving up the hill to our house at about 3pm. I'm exhausted and my jaw hurts more because the e.n.t. guy kept pushing on the swollen part. It looks like a horrible deformity or like I got wisdom teeth removed and now it's swollen. Fortunately, when my wisdom teeth were removed I didn't have that problem. This must be PAYBACK. The doctor was going to have me just see if it went away on it's own but with the wedding saturday he sent me off to the e.n.t. guy and that doctor gave me meds. The only thing I've found that helps so far is the aleve I've been taking for pain. It seemed to be bigger than ever when I got home and even now it doesn't seem smaller. The rehearsal dinner is tomorrow...I may have to skip it. I feel like a freak. All day I kept pulling my hair down over that side of my face but when I'm walking or there's a breeze, it's hopeless. My mother hasn't seen it but I'm tired of showing people. Unfortunately, I can't stay in my room the rest of the night, it's just too early. I have to leave at some point.
My mother wants me to work tomorrow but I'm bothered that my sister isn't working hardly at all which means I have to cover for her and answer phones and that really stresses me out, and I'm ALREADY STRESSED OUT, and now with my face like all deformed...! She has all next week off and has taken a ton of hours doing wedding stuff instead of working and I've always had to cover for her! I'm so sick of it. I'm sure I won't be going to the rehearsal tomorrow. These prescription meds would have to be some miracle cure or something and I'm told they're not any such thing. He said If i'm not cured by saturday, it will be 90% gone which isn't enough. Especially for pictures. THIS WEEK IS HARD ENOUGH, WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN?!?!?! Then my dad's making jokes and I'm about ready to smack him, just over the idea that this won't be gone by the wedding. That's not even something I'm willing to joke about. I will definitely be avoiding my mother the rest of the evening. She never has anything positive or helpful to say. I was telling her that I was probably fine to work tomorrow and she has to bring up my sister NOT working in a negative way. She could have told me she's working every day but just for a few hours and that wouldn't have bothered me quite as much. Instead of just asking me if I was going to work, she acted like I should come down even though I'm totally freaked out at how I look AND STRESSED ABOUT THE WEDDING and it's all for her own selfish need. I've covered for them for many hours. A day here and there of her covering for me is all I'm asking. She takes two to three hour lunches where I'm left there alone & my sister's on vacation and I'm usually alone every day for an hour when my sister goes to lunch. I want to say no, sorry, i'm in too much pain/discomfort to work today but I know I won't say that. I'm used to working in most conditions. I'd rather be in pain than look this way. I can work in pain, no problem. I accidentally stabbed myself with a screw driver last week and that was pretty uncomfortable the rest of the day but I didn't complain. Pain is just different to me, especially when it's in my hands or arms. I'm used to working with an earache on a fairly routine basis. It hurts to sneeze and chew. I'd love to just SCREAM right now bit I'm sure it would hurt quite a bit. Besides, I don't think it would go over well with my roommates ;-)
