I need those bandages.
So about that medical condition, it has been the worst!
I can't even explain the pain I've been in, I've never felt anything like it. I literally was on my way to work yesterday and the pain got so bad I called work and told them I needed to go back to the Dr. I was almost at work and turned right around. It was so bad I was crying.
I have a high pain tolerance I can usually deal pretty well. My whole side was tattooed for 3 hours without flinching. This has felt insanely painful. I even took a painkiller and that didn't even dull the pain! It's really been that terrible.
So I called a new Dr. right after I talked to my boss and was able to get an appointment later in the afternoon. She was super thorough and covered every possibility. She ended up giving me a stronger antibiotic. I'm still in pain there was nothing they could do for that but I can already feel a difference in the intensity. It's been a lot more bearable today.
Anyways aside from a super uneventful and horrible week, I had a good weekend.
I went out with my coworkers to Brooklyn Bowl. If anyone knows me well, they know that one of the things I hate, and there's not many things, is bowling. hah! But I wanted to be a good sport and that's what all of them wanted to do so of course I went. I bowled a 15! I don't need to be drunk to do things, but apparently bowling is one thing I do need to be for, I've never bowled so low ever. Yikes! It was all in good fun though. I really love the vibe and ambiance in brooklyn bowl and I also love who I work with a lot so it was easy to have a good time regardless.
I also went to my friend Jon's and we made dinner and drew pictures. We just relaxed, which is why I really like going there. We just can laugh and hang and I don't feel like I have to constantly be entertaining someone or talking. I can be quietly drawing without it being weird. Also his roommates dog Leo is the cutest pitbull on the planet and I love him.
A few nights before I said something about a brownie inception and we realized that's completely doable so we made them. A oreo inside a brownie. AMAZING! So so so good!!
Jon cooked us an amazing dinner. It was quinoa and three cheese tortellini with sauteed spinach, pineapple, red onion, red pepper, and cranraisins. It was so so soooo delicious.
Tomorrow I'm going back to work, I hate missing days so much. It makes me feel weak, but this pain was way too terrible and needed to be taken care of. It is the first day of fashion week tomorrow so I really would like to be in the office. I have to be thankful for having such amazing and understanding coworkers. A lot of the time I've worked places that didn't care how sick I was and would make me come in, but they really wanted me to rest and get better. I have a lot to be thankful for in the past year, I'm finally finding my place in the world and feeling a lot happier.
Patience is a virtue.
