A week of pain

Tonight is my first night back to work from home. Why? Well I managed to get sick over the course of my weekend and I faced such pain that I think just comes next to child birth.

So what did I have? Well it wasn't the flu, or a cold, or anything remotely close to that the majority of it was physical pain that I had no idea what was causing it. Well an infection of some kind over took my HEAD! Yeah of all things and infection that caused for my head to hurt to the point where I was praying for decapitation. (It was that bad) You know I figured that maybe I could live life without my head, I mean what do you need a head for, RIGHT? Okay so maybe it was the pain talking. But I called my mom crying one night because I could not stand the pain. And it started with what looked like a swollen lymph node and the pain radiated down my jaw. And I had two more sores on top of my head. (At this point no big deal but I went to the Doc. either way) I was given some antibiotics and they did not do much except maybe MAYBE slow down the rate that the infection spread around my head. By Tuesday I had a constant headache and physical pain that went around my right side wrapped through the back to the back of my head and into the back of my left ear. I could not lay down (on a pillow) without feeling the pain. I went through so much Tylenol the first couple of days. (and that did nothing for me)

So by Thursday morning the pain has just gotten unbearable and it's gotten to a point where I could not move my neck. I go back to the Doc. and she says that I have an infection and needed different antibiotics and some pain killer (odd effects) and since this was just two days ago I still do not know exactly what it is that I have. She also referred me to a specialist, which I will see on Monday.

Anyways I went through various stages of pain;
1) "ohh it hurts"
2) "Man it's gotten worse"
3) "Mom I can't stand the pain" **crying***
4) "God please stop the pain, no more pain"
5) "God what did I do wrong?, who did I wrong? What did I do to deserve this pain?"
6) "Doc please pain killers, I need sleep"

So yeah those were my 6 stages of pain in a time span of 4 days. Day 1 I hit the first three by nightfall. Yeah I might sound like a baby but I just don't know if I've ever felt so bad. It wasn't so much like an illness where you have a fever and your body is tired and you just need some rest so that you can get better, NO WAY, that would have been a field day compared to whatever it is that I have. I've been told cyst, staph infection, allergies, and I just don't see it being any of those. So I'm at work feeling a little better but still rather out of it. I think it was that constant headache that last until I was giving the Vicodin, & even then it only masked the pain of the headache and did not help but for a couple of hours. So anyways I see the specialist on Monday and hopefully I can get more answers to my questions.

Anyways on other news, Okay so there is no other news. Ohh yeah the Office is worried that it is contagious because it turns out that two of my co-workers had a staph infection in the last month, so now we are taking safety precautions here at work.
