So lucky me, apparently I was bit by something insane the other night. The following day at work, it was just mad itchy and red, plus it hurt like hell everytime I stepped down on my foot. That made my day so enjoyable. Well then, Friday...I realize that it has now swollen up to the size of an orange basically. It was sooo gross, my entire left foot was so huge! Kevin apparently thought it would be funny to call it a cankle...thanks for the support! Though I must say, it did seem like I had one really really fat foot, so I'm gonna have to put fat feet on the unattractive list from now on. To make things better, my mom decides to freak me out by saying that it's abnormal and that I'm gonna need a shot to cure it and that if I don't, it'll be amputated. So of course I'm freaking out and I rush over to the doctor's after work. Well, what did this PH.D smartie tell me? "You're just having an allergic reaction to this bite. This sometimes happens to people. You just have to be patient and it will go down. But don't scratch it because it will make it worse." Uhm no shiiiit, why would I be here to see you if I didn't think I was having some kind of freaky reaction to it?? And if I wanted the pain of limping and wobbling with a foot the size of my head, I would have just waited like a week till it went down then. Obviously I wanted faster and safer results. So he eventually prescribed me these 2 meds. One tastes like licking a lead pipe while the other eases the scratching by making my whole body numb. Real nice, obviously I won't scratch when my body is completely paralyzed and I have completely conked out in whatever location I happened to be in when it all kicked in. But seriously, why do we have to pay doctors muchos muchos dinero for them to tell me the same exact thing that I knew in the first place? Ahh, and another aggravating thing, while waiting for the prescription to get filled...why does it take 30 minutes for them to count out like 20 pills? Is it really that hard? It's not like they're physically making the pills from scratch, pouring them into lil molds to get them shaped and then cutting them out or something (yeah I know that's probably NOT how they make pills).
