Growth & the ER

I am home sick today from work. I think that this is only the 2nd or 3rd time in 4 and 1/2 years that I've called out, and one of those times was for Marcus. I have this growth on the side of my head right next to my ear. It runs from my hair line to the bottom of my jaw. It wasn't that big yesterday, in fact it was no bigger than a quarter. I also have a huge welt on my forehead, about the size of a nickel and another one on my hair line. I think I'm falling apart!!! The growth is very tender to the touch and makes my jaw and side of my face ache. Anyways, I woke up at 2am, with the help of Marcus, and noticed that the growth had more than doubled in size so since hearing is a major part of my job and the growth is pushing in my ear, I thought I'd go to the ER, Sacred Heart ofcourse. I planned on being there until now, because that is just normal for there. I got there and there were about a dozen people in the waiting room, including a group of 5 misfits. 2 Gothic looking males and 3 females - 1 in a wheelchair moaning, another not really caring and a 3rd tall skinny lady with candy cane striped leggings on. Well the Moaner appeard to be on her death bed but I really think that she was just having a bad trip on what ever drug she choose to take. And why do I think this you ask??? WELL......when I got there, 3 nurses where hoverd over her while she was getting sick. When she was done her head would spin a full circle like the Exorcist. After about 5 minutes of this, 1 of the nurses came to check me in. While in the waiting room, Moaner kept on breathing quickly, stop, then say, "I'm gonna pass out!". The Goth guys could care less, the Candy Cane girl would say "Someone has got to help us!" and the other female would go get the nurse, who I noted, did not hurry to Moaner. Well they called me to the triage (by my new last name that I am not used to!) and called Moaner to the area where they verify name, insurance. Well, I guess she fell out of her wheel chair in there, because the nurse that was triage me, rolled her eyes and told me she'd be back. Well after 3 nurses ordered the group out, told Moaner to get up, Candy Cane girl said "That's it, we're leaving." Now if it wasn't a reaction to something illegal, I think they'd stay, wouldn't you? I was just happy because it made me a person closer! Well as it turned out I was only gone from the house for 1 hour and 20 munites. The welts on my head are some kind of insect bite that is casuing an infection. The growth is a swollen lymph node, reacting to the infection. I have a horse pill antibiotic to take 2 times a day for a week and I have to put warm compresses on the growth. ALL THIS AND IT'S NOT EVEN 9AM!!!!
