ER trip

I haven't been to the ER in a long time for myself anyway. I have this swollen hardness in my groin area and it was indeed quite painful. I first notice it on Tuesday evening and it was really sore on Wednesday and then I worked on Thursday. By Friday I could hardly stand it and was not sleeping well at all. Finally Nick looked at it once again on Friday after we had already come home from Huntingdon. He gave me no choice, we were headed back to Huntingdon to the ER. Turns out I have to very large abscesses and there was no way they could even possibly drain them. I was given an antibiotic and pain reliever I took off work on Saturday and have been taking it easy for the past 2 days. I was advised to take a sitz bath and apply as warm as I could stand compresses on it. The one is indeed draining an we are watching the other to see if it will start to drain and shrink as well. I have been praying that it will be taken care of. So I am off to take another sitz bath and another pain pill. Not sure if church is in the cards for tomorrow or not. We shall see!
