Aside from my teeth hurting like hell from recent dental work, my stepson ended up with cellulitis, which turned into an abscess. I've pretty much been going nonstop for the last four days. Work, clinic, taking care of stuff at home, clinic, work, go go go... No real time to myself. Today I saw a doctor cut into my stepson's body and stuff it full of gauze while he wailed and cried. I almost cried too, I felt so bad for the kid. I hope this shit clears up now.
That's horrible! Have they given him antibiotics? When it's all over and you get a chance to take a second for yourself, do it. Don't be afraid to exhale
Over the weekend I had to take him to the ER- they had him on IV antibiotics, and they also gave him a prescription for more antibiotics and painkillers. He's had it lanced twice now.
I had to google cellulitis Oooo, ick, yuck Good on you for looking after your stepson Dun dun dun On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of cellulitis, rising up through the air
Sorry the little one is going through that, I know it can be hard to see kids in pain and not be able to do anything about it. Hope thing start looking up soon!
could be worse some people dont even have dental coverage .... im assuming you do because most people that dont just dont get the work done until we're close to dying from it
Then I stopped and I noticed Wasn't feelin' quite right My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night I went without dental coverage for about 12 years. I have it now because my teeth are absolutely fucked from years of depression, acid reflux, and asthma inhalers, and I couldn't take the pain anymore. My employer provides high deductible health insurance. I am very privileged. I sure as fuck hope not. Thanks everyone for your kind words. Kiddo says he feels a lot better today.
I'm sorry to hear you've had such a rough week. I'm glad your stepson is feeling a bit better. I hope next week is a better one for you.
Yes I wish you and your stepson all the best. Off-topic, but I think you're a strong contender for a best username award.
