I wish that I didn't like my doctor so much, because I would totally switch to one who works in the hospital's ambulatory care center.
Can you just go there for this, and keep seeing your regular doctor for routine stuff?
So, gotta find some movers and, you know, move 1000+ miles away in like 3 weeks.
OMG. That's so crazy. CRAZY AWESOME.
SHENANIGANS!
Nora, that's awesome!
When you say your face hurts, do you mean the area around your cheekbones? And your eye feeling kind of droopy? If so, then you probably do need a doctor.
Yup. Exactly that.
The funny thing is that I don't at all mind walking the 45 minutes to and from the doctor's, but not when I am sick! But I hardly ever have to go to the doctor if I am not sick. My friend K takes me sometimes, but she has had to miss a lot of work taking both her mom and dad to the doctor's lately, and although she works for the theatre, I don't think I want to risk it.
My stupid dilemma of the day: Go out of my way to buy some tickets, or pay $10 in fees.
And YAY NORA AND TOM!!!!!
Nora, I'm so excited for you both! How wonderful...even if it is hellaciously stressy.
Woohoo Nora and Tom. Does this mean they gave him what he asked for?
Sophia, go to a doctor at the school. You can see your regular doctor another time.
Nora and Tom are moving!!!!! Wheee!!!!!!!!
A few summers ago, I worked with someone who had that same face-hurting and droopy-eye thing after a cold. It was an ear infection, and the swelling was compressing some nerves. She didn't go to a doctor (because health care at this work place sucked, among other reasons), and then she woke up one morning and that entire side of her face was paralyzed. The swelling had gone from pressing against the nerve to completely crushing it. The doctor told her that something like 80% of people who get that recover, but pretty much all they could do was treat the ear infection, and then wait and see. (I don't know if she ever recovered, but by the time that job ended, about three weeks later, her face was still paralyzed.)
Nora and Tom! YAY!
