I won’t even call this a gratitude list, because I’m the furthest thing from grateful at the moment.

Six days of heavy antibiotics and my face is even more swollen than it was the day before, my right eye looks like a fucking coin slot.

The Motrin 800mg I shouldn’t be taking helps for about 1.5 to 2 hours at a time but isn’t really doing much besides taking the sharp pain and turning it into a dull aching pulse.

I’ve never had a tooth infection cause my entire face to swell and get paralyzed, I’m concerned I’m going to look like a fucking freak forever at this point.

I do have a dentist appointment this morning, I have zero faith they are actually going to help me in any way. I can barely get my mouth open I’m so swollen so I doubt they will pull any teeth while this infections just raging and getting worse.

I’m frustrated and absolutely terrified that this infections going to kill me before someone actually does something about it to help me. It is a shitty spot to be in but my trust when it comes to medical providers lately is non existent (especially when I’ve caught doctors using fucking google and AI to look shit up🤡).

I just want to be able to go to work😭
