I obtained a Professor McGonigle costume and was hoping to go trick-or-treating with my son and his family but it turns out they celebrated at the Children's Museum last weekend. And it's a chilly night so I'm staying in and working on a rebuke about the recission of the Public Lands Rule. That's scary enough for me. Plus, I'm going on a hike tomorrow starting early.

I thought they didn't celebrate Halloween.  ???

I had one when I was a baby, or so my mother always said. It had to be lanced. My mother always called it "a staph infection," but that's what usually causes a boil, infection with the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. I read about this stuff in my job; you can also google it.

You're fortunate it wasn't what is called MRSA (pronounced Mersa), for "methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus." That's bad. It's essentially a drug-resistant strain of Staph. It's very difficult to cure.

This concludes your medical lesson for today.  ;D

I've always wondered about boils. The only people I know who've suffered them are my neighbor when we were really young children and Job.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!







How is everyone doing??

So, let me tell you about my past 10 days.

 ::)

Just giving an alert before, when you read the story, it will not get gross!  I will self-censor.    :laugh:

On Wednesday the 22nd, I got out of the shower, and happened to look in the mirror.  I noticed a bump on my back.  It wasn't painful, and I had a cyst or two in my past, so I made a mental note to monitor this.

On Thursday, by evening the bump had turned painful and the skin red, so I though "Oh fun, a boil".   I slept poorly that night, no matter what way I settled, it was painful.  The next morning I signed on to the work computer, finished the early morning stuff as quickly as possible, and then drove to the local Urgent Care.   they saw me right away, and the doctor said that there was no head on the boil, and no drainage.   She prescribed a week's worth of antibiotics, and told me to use hot compresses.

I backed out of the Halloween party I was invited to on Saturday.

It is not easy to place and hold a hot compress on one's back.  Thankfully I have a heating pad, so I put it on a high setting, and kept it on my back.  I had to get used to sleeping with a T-shirt on to protect my bedsheets.   Needless to say, T-shirts were ruined.  I also cancelled for bowling on Tuesday

The prescription is set to run out today, and I wasn't satisfied with how it was looking, so I went back to the Urgent Care this morning after the early morning stuff was done.  They looked it over,  numbed me, and the boil has now been dealt with.  I have a new prescription for a different antibiotic that I start tomorrow. 

I feel better just knowing it's out.

No plans for tonight.  I'm staying home to watch the opening night of Skate Canada, and then I will continue my tradition of watching Halloween, and Halloween II on every Halloween night.

What are you all up to??
