I am home sick today, lying on the coach and moaning about how uncomfortable and miserable I feel with my nasty headcold. The only interruption to this all-day snooze-and-whinefest was a brief side trip this morning to the doctor. I’ve been having unpleasant ear-jaw-side of face pain for some time, and finally decided that I should get that checked out, and my appointment just happened to coincide nicely with my cold.
Truth be told, I’d hoped it was an ear infection, because ear infections are bacterial and can be treated with antibiotics.
Sadly, no. I have “eustacian tube disfunction” which is a fancy way of saying “lots of fluid built up behind the ears so take sudafed.” I also got a referral to an ENT for the jaw pain. “It’s good you came in,” she said, “but it looks like just a build up and you’ll be fine. Tough it out.”
Well, FINE.
Then! Then! As I was leaving, she said “oh my gosh, that is a REALLY LARGE zit on your temple. That’s probably contributing to your head pain. I’d put a cold compress on that when you get home.”
And then I died. Thank you, doctor, for kicking me while I am down and pointing out my newly acne-prone skin. I’m going home to tough it out on the couch with bad movies and junk food now.
Oh, poor thing. I hope you feel better soon!
haaaa. oh dear. i’m so sorry. laughing WITH you here
HAHAHAHAHHAHA!
Er…..I mean….sorry?
That’s HILARIOUS! OMG. And I was just about to say I’m in need of a new doctor and would you recommend yours. But, ummm, I already have a dermatologist, thank you very much. hahaha.
Hope you’re feeling better today. I’m heading to the Needle Shop to take the tote bag class … let’s find that baby blanket class and sign up soon!
Aww, poor you! And mean doctor! Feel better soon!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!
Friggin’ doctors and their insensitive crap. However, that is too funny. That reeally is a GINORMOUS MONSTROSITY of a zit on your head, no wonder you are having headache induced pain seizures!! So ridiculous.
That is hilarious. And again, YOU would be the only person to get a doctor like that. Wow. God only knows what your OBGYN will say to you when you get pregnant. (SHE IS NOT PREGNANT I REPEAT SHE IS NOT PREGNANT I AM ONLY PROJECTING INTO THE FUTURE NO NEED TO READ INTO THIS)
Too bad you dont live out here, my ENT is really hot. Although, a really hot dr. pointing out your huge zit probably would have been even more humiliating…
