senashentaI'm not going to the hospital after all. Dr. K is aaaaaall worried about the inflammation in my blood being related to my infection/abscess, but said infection/abscess is CLEARED UP, and I looked it up and inflammation in the blood can come from basically ANY condition, illness or infection.
I have long covid. I have arthritis. Both of these can show up as inflammation in the blood. I also have like every other condition in existence, so like??
I FEEL fine, or as fine as I ever feel, at least, and I have an appointment with Dr. K in a week and a half, anyway! I feel like nothing going on with me points toward my infection/abscess becoming systemic being very unlikely, and I'll survive until my appointment and we can discuss it then.
Mom is SO SUPER PISSED that I'm not going, but seriously FUCK THE ER THE INFECTION IS GONE WHY SHOULD I GO SIT THERE FOR 10 HOURS JUST TO BE TOLD I'M FINE AND TO GO HOME?? And like, she doesn't fucking know HALF of my medical problems, even though she thinks she does, so she has no idea.
I might call Dr. K tomorrow and try to actually get HER on the phone to talk about everything, too, just in case, but THAT is a big IF because she's notoriously hard to pin down.
