I feel like a new person!!!

After a week and one day of fighting Staph and Cellulitis in my nose I feel like a new person.  Thank You Dr. Delaney..you're the best!!!! This all started last saturday when i woke up an swore that Donnie punched me in the nose in my sleep.  It was so sore that i couldn't even touch the skin it was so tender. So then i think, "ok, maybe i am getting a sinus infection, but 2 days later still no cold and my nose is swollen HUGE and I mean HUGE!! Kinda felt like Marcia Brady when she got hit with the football. So not wanting to go to the doctor and sound stupid saying "can you help me, my nose hurts". I called my niece who is a nurse and ask her. She said yes there can be many things wrong ,you could have MRSA and some other things, so i decided to go to the doctor and sure enough by then it was REALLY bad so i had to be put on Septra DS for the staph and keflex for the cellulitis and said that if i didn't see a change or continued to get worse by friday come back. so the next day i was back because now my left eye was swollen too :( Well that doctor didn't do anything, if i knew his name i would sure put it in here but let's see at Physicians plus there  Dr. Maza, Dr Delaney and That other nasty, mean disrepectful man. Any way, he treated me like a piece of garbage that he could care less whether i lived or died and really shouldn't be doctor, but that's another story. if i find out his name i will blog about the experience my daughter and myself have had with him. Any way's i go home not getting any better on Thursday. On Friday i go back because once again i am much worse on this day. This is the day my lifesaver came. I saw Dr. Delaney and she was absolutely wonderful. She was caring, she listened to everything i had to say, she ask me many questions. and she didn't pinch my nose and say "does this hurt" like Dr. Disrespectful did ( and then said well don't touch it). When all was said and done she was gonna give me a shot and change one of my meds and put me on another .. now i am on Septra DS 2x's a day, Clindamycin (2caps.3x's a day) and prednisone (2 tab. 1x a day) . so she really doubled and triples my meds plus put me on alot stronger ones and when i woke up saturday, i had a left eye.....yippy!!!! Now it is sunday and i have a nose back...I mean a real shape with a bridge, nostrals and everything!!! Thank you Dr. Delany and all the wonderful people at the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy (just a little free advertising Endo...lol) Seriously though, Endo, Amanda, Ashley, Angie, and my wonderful daughter (even though she is on maturnity leave, she call the boss to tell him we were on our way and not to close because I needed my meds asap). I still have 5 to 7 days on the meds and i am taking them all just as directed and hopefully, no more staph or cellulitis for me!!!!

p.s. if you ever wake up and your nose hurts like heck. please go to the doctor...this could be you!!!
