This a.m. I woke up knowing it was time to go to the ER.

Due to several factors, I'm prone to infections & abscesses. Two days ago a rather painful abscess appeared in a sensitive location. Yesterday I was too sick to get out of bed. Today I felt good enough to go to the ER where I spent 4 hours on IV antibiotics & saline. The surgeon will see me in 3 days to decide if surgical drainage is necessary. Given its proximity to a rather indispensable appendage, I hope he won't be too knife-happy...

sympathy chills down my spine

13. That they didn't decide on surgical drainage right away is encouraging.

Fingers crossed.

14. Fingers crossed that it pops and drains on its own

The surgeon probably wants to lance it, drain it, and pack it with about 5 miles of gauze ribbon.
