Ouch Cherie. I'm sorry hun, that sounds DREADFUL.
Speaking of dreadful, I finally gave in and went to the ER last night. Around Midnight. Thinking... Wednesday night, not busy... Oh, you'd be surprised.
Finally my name was called at 7 am. I went in and the doctor lanced it, and drained it. It was a LOT of puss (sorry for getting graphic here). She packed it, and sent me along with a note to take back to the ER Saturday at 9am to have the packing out, and inspect the area with the doctor on call.
So much relief having it out. I have a digital photo of it, but I'll spare you folks unless you want to see the 'before' shot
