made a call to dr. bates last night around 7 (angry left boob, does it need it's own acronym by now?) incredibly, though he was not the on call doctor, he talked to me on the phone for about 10 minutes and made an appointment to meet me on a mother-effing saturday. that's right. he came in on his day off to look at ALB. he came to the clinic at 9am in jeans, a baseball cap and checkered vans. *drool* he rocks. ALB was terrifically bruised from the inside, skin was more damaged from radiation or nursing or some random shit. won't be losing more skin it looks like. seems the low grade fever was very early internal infection in a spot that one wouldn't notice without being a surgeon with practiced hands. in any case i was put on a new antibiotic to fight the bitch back. awesome.
the good(ish) news is that these bitches came out. danny and i were expecting a skinny little tube like what hung out but no it was that wide white part that was on the inside. half inch wide bendy ruler thing coming out a tiny little hole. yowza, that stings. it was quick though and i came home and took a mother fucking shower. it was so amazing. side wounds will be healed up by morning; no stitches, no tape necessary.
for i look around me
and my eyes confound me
and it's just too bright
as the days keep turning into night
