Me vs Hot Oral Surgeon

I lost. Big time. So, last night my right topside of my mouth started bleeding again. It was throbbing too. Ouch. So this morning I called the H.O.S's office to report this. Apparently H.O.S doesn't work on Friday's so she told me she'd have him call me. He called about 10 minutes later and told me to come in and he'd take a look. Take a look my ass. First he took a look, which was fine. Then, he disappeared and came back with this weapon looking pick thing. You could have stabbed someone with it. He told me he was just going to "poke around a little" and then it started hurting. So bad, tears came to the surface. Well, he poked so hard that a huge chunk of pus came out. Holy shit it was so disgusting. So, I have an infection. Fuck Fuck Fuck. No wonder my face is still so huge. He put me on Clindamycin and said other than that, the other incisions looked good. I go back in on Monday for a follow up. Now, here's the other crappy part to this story. He told me that I really need to be eating because it would sorta help the whole healing process. Okay, makes sense to me. He said that I should buy some Ensure or Boost or some sort of meal replacement shake. So, I decide to go to Taco Bell and get some pintos and cheese, cause they're soft and all. I also got a 7 layer burrito so I could eat the filling out of it. Well, after that I stopped at Walgreens to get my Rx and I also picked up some Ensure. Good thing! I got home and realized that the twat at Taco Bell gave me cheesy potatoes instead of pintos and cheese. I looked at the receipt and it said "pintos and cheese". WTF with the cheesy potatoes. UGH.


For fucks sake. This is just getting a bit out of hand. Oh, here are some more yummy details for you! I can actually push on the outside of my cheek, and pus will come out of my incision. When I spit it out, it's really stinky and a really nasty green/yellow/light brown color. MmmM. Oh man. The smell is just disgusting. The upside of this is, I'm thinking if I can get the pus out, the swelling will go down shortly after. H.O.S told me I could use a hot water bottle against my cheek and then massage the infected area. Mmm pus.

Here's a little reminder for me. Antibiotic at 6:30, Advil at 8:30. K. Great.
