The eye swelling is just part of the story so I thought I would share pictures of the rest of my ailments as well so you can all share in my misery. I didn't take Benadryl this morning because I had some papers to write and didn't want to be half asleep to write papers and do a test. Because I didn't take the Benadryl I have a horrible rash on my hands that burns and itches like crazy. Seriously, this reaction is horrible and pretty much requires that I keep Benadryl in my system 24 hours a day.
And this is the culprit:
This is actually a big improvement over what it was. This morning a bunch of green puss came out of it leaving the center completely hollow. Now the center has started to fill in and heal so it doesn't look quite as gross. The big concern at the moment is that my immune system is severely compromised because I'm having a constant allergic reaction and I have an infection running through my body at the same time. The doctor mentioned that MRSA is actually fairly common in these types of open wounds caused by bites and since my immune system is already compromised, I'm at a fairly large risk for it. It takes a lot to keep me out of the gym, but I think I would like to avoid MRSA thankyouverymuch.
Now, aren't you all jealous? I get to take 17 pills a day, have a gaping wound in my leg, a swollen face and eye, and itchy rash. I'm just that awesome.
