The Dr was GREAT! Sure enough, no ear infection just my TMJ that will get all worked up about twice a year. Well, this was one of the times. The Dr then took a look at the boil. She took me into the "surgical" room at the clinic and tried to lance it. No luck. She bandaged it up, put me on antibiotics and told me to come back on Thursday for a wound check. I kept the bandage on and kept a hot compress on it. Thursday went back and the Dr was able to lance it and get some infection out. We bandaged it (after she packed it) back up and off I went knowing I had to come BACK today (Saturday) for another wound check. After a while, I just felt like my neck was on FIRE. It was burning!!! But I just thought the numbing stuff was just coming out or it was just sensitive from the lancing. I rebandaged it yesterday and it was just RED! I didn't put a new bandage on quite as tight. Went back to the Dr today, well, found out the burning and redness was the allergic reaction to the bandage. SO, now I have to make sure to tell medical people I'm allergic to bandaids and to use paper tape at all time.
Today was also Daphne's Make-a-Wish Party. Daphne was diagnosed with leukemia last year. She has undergone her chemo. She will be going to the San Diego Zoo, Safari Park, and Sea World! I took my sister Tammy's kids to the party. As soon as we pulled up to the Make-a-Wish building Kayden said that he remembered making a wish there. The lady that was there helping Daphne with her party was the same lady who did Kayden's. We got to go on the tour of the building, and we all got to make a wish of our own for Daphne. There were birds there for Daphne's party, face painting and an balloon animal lady. It was a lot of fun! Thanks for letting us come!
It's just been an eventful few days. I have just realized I got the genes from my grandparents that aren't all that fun. Grandma Labrum would get boils (dad gets them too). Grandpa Labrum was allergic to bandages too.

Wish you could get that infection of yourself. Wonder how you would do that? HOpe you don't get any more for a while.
You're such a great Auntie to all your nieces and nephews. They are definately lucky to have you in their lives. Hope the infections leaves and you can be comfortable again. That really stinks:(
Well Nicky - things have to turn around for you one of these days! Life will get better - remember this saying: "As long as you are going in the right direction, nothing is ever permanently wrong. As long as you are going in the wrong direction, nothing is ever permanently right."
I love quote and think of it often!And have seen it happen in my life often.
Just keep trying to be the best Nicky you can and things will get better. - Until then, cry, scream, throw a tantrum, and you'll feel lots better. (I've seen that in my life often too!)
Sorry you have not been feeling well. We are sending healing thoughts your way. It looks like you guys had a lot of fun at Make A Wish!! It didn't look like you got your face painted :)
Chantel, I did not get my face painted. I thought I had enough for the week, I went to the party with a big bandage on my neck. It was fun at Daphne's party, I'm glad I was able to go
