TopicWell that was an awkward and uncomfortable 3 hour ER visit... (WARNING: gross)

So I woke up yesterday and felt a small dime-sized bump in my groin area, right on the crease where my left leg meets my pelvis. Kind of an awkward spot to see myself, but I figured it was just a bug bite, which I get a decent amount of since our house is so old it's basically impossible to prevent spiders and such. But other than a more unfortunate location than usual, I didn't think much of it.

Went to work yesterday and put up with the irritation every time I moved, and checked it again when I got home. It had grown to a little less than the size of a quarter, but again I just figured of course it grew, it was being agitated all night. I've got the weekend off, so no worries it'll probably be gone in a day or two if I take it easy.

Woke up today and it had swollen even more. It was ridiculously tender and walking was hard, and when I examined it I saw that it had not just gotten larger, but also worked its way towards my jewels. NOPE. I basically jumped straight into my car and drove to the emergency room. Called my parents on the way to meet me there in case I was going to need someone to drive me home afterwards.

After about an hour and a half in the waiting room, I finally got called back to see the doctor. They figured it was an infection, took an ultrasound of the area and found quite a significant amount of pus, which meant they had to cut it open and drain the stuff. >_< That was NOT fun. But the doctor and nurse were both women and were really friendly and professional about the whole situation (the nurse was kinda cute, too), so overall I'd say it was a pretty good experience.

Gotta say, that was not exactly how I'd hoped to spend my friday night. Luckily I had already requested this whole weekend off work, so I'll have plenty of time to recover and should be right as rain in a couple days. I've got a 5-day tract of antibiotics to take, but I'm gonna have to pull the packing out myself in 48 hours. Not looking forward to that, tbh...

So yeah, I spent my friday night getting my balls cut into. >_> Hopefully everyone else's night went a little better than mine. ^_^
