Working On It
Last night things got bad enough with my infection that I had to go to the hospital and ended up needing minor surgery (VERY minor, they just used a local anaesthetic) to drain a HUGE abscess that had developed. They also gave me IV antibiotics (it took four tries for them to get a vein properly) and a prescription for different antibiotics that are "more targeted" than the AmoxiClav that I was already on. The doctor also said I should talk to Dr. K about me possibly having Hydradenitis Suppurahva (I think I'm spelling that right?), which she thinks could be the cause of all my problems.
Anyway, I was at the hospital for like six hours (right through dinner time, which sucked) and at 9:30pm when I finally got out of there, Mom picked me up and took me to Shoppers to fill my prescription, since it's the only pharmacy open late. While we were waiting for the pharmacist to fill it, I just limped around the store grabbing food (a sandwich, potato chips, a bottle of Fresca) so I wouldn't have to cook anything when we got home because YES, I was starving, but also in a lot of PAIN and TOTALLY EXHAUSTED. =/
I'm STILL totally exhausted TODAY, I just need a few days of doing nothing and just healing, which meant that when the girl Mom and I were supposed to be picking a DRESSER up from tonight messaged me this morning, concerned about the road conditions in their area for our driving, I HAPPILY rescheduled the pickup. Now we're going on Monday night instead. Honestly even if we HAD gone today idk if I would've been able to even LIFT the dresser to help get it in the car. :P
So, today I have done nothing much. I wrote some of Lifeline this morning, posted Pinfeathers to AO3 (I still need to post it AND Ghost In The Machine to Tumblr), and wrote a little three-page drabble from later on in the TKA series, when Wren gets her new Familiar after Renfield has been gone a while, an albino raven named Poe. It's a cute scene, I like how it turned out.
Speaking of scenes,cimberelly wrote me an N.D. scene and I adore her for it! I love that N.D. is still a thing after all this time, it's like... those characters just grabbed hold and wouldn't let go. The whole cast is amazing and I plan to write some N.D. scenes myself in the near future. <3
And then, of course, I put a new filter into the axolotl tank because the chemical filters don't do anything to filter out actual PARTICLES of stuff, and I needed one that DID. I had an external filter on the tank before but it leaked so I'm really hoping for the best this time.
Yesterday was the last day of the MelaFix regimen and the bacterial infection in the aquarium is pretty much cleaned up, so now I have to give it a couple of days and do a 50% water change before starting treatment for the FUNGAL infection that's ALSO going on. My poor 'lotls are suffering right now and I'm doing the best I can to get their tank back to snuff, but it's really hard to do because axolotls are so damned sensitive to chemicals. I've done SO MUCH RESEARCH to make sure the chemicals I'm using in their tank are safe for them but it's all still stressing them out. And all of this in a tank that's ACTIVELY LEAKING because I don't have a new tank/dresser yet. It's just... fuck. Not ideal.
And now I have to go FEED the 'lotls, so that's all for now.
