Struggling

I've been having a bad time.

Monday my face was so swollen I was in despair. It is so uncomfortable - it doesn't hurt it just feels like I've got something attached to it that I can't pull off.

After chatting to a couple of friends on MSN I telephoned my nurse friend. She advised me to call the hospital in the morning and ask to speak to someone. She also said that the anitbiotics would only now be kicking in (takes 3 days). Apparently when they have the test results they can match the correct antibiotic to the bug causing the infection. At the moment I've been given "domestos" (kills all know germs)

Anyway I made the phone call this morning and they asked me to come in tomorrow to the "emergency" clinic. So I've got to get there by 9.30 and as it's on a "first come first served" basis I'm in for a wait.
(Must remember to take a good book).

I've still got to go on Friday as another clinic called me with an appointment for blood tests (which I may as well go ahead with to ease my mind).

I may also have to go back to ENT with this face thingy if it's back up again (and for results from last week)

It's just so depressing - nothing seems to be moving forward. I wanted the operation to be the end of a chapter and a clear run to a bright furture - nit the start of more problems and difficulties.
