Monday I went in to get my stitches out. I also needed evaluation of the area under my eye. It is not healing well, swelling not going down and very hard. I was worried about it.
I was also worried about getting the stitches in that area taken out. It was rough but I survived. The other area looks good and minimal scarring from what I can determine now will happen. The other area is another story. There will be scarring. I really think I needed another couple of stitches there.
After the stitches were removed I had to wait for another doctor to come around to take a look at it. He referred me to a Otolaryngology. Now did you just say, "WHAT?" That is what I did! This is a Head and Neck Specialist/Surgeon. Appointment scheduled for Thursday morning. I will update you all then. I'm a bit nervous!

@kareng With so much new technology, I just don't understand why it takes forever anytime we step foot in a cell phone store.

@1creekgirl I hear what you're saying. In some ways, technology has slowed a lot of things down.

Glad you got them out. One step closer. Though I feel like I missed something somewhere.

@MarieCoyle Crazy, but they really went over and beyond to help us. Not many companies will buy a cell phone from you and give you what it is actually worth!

I had never heard of it before myself. They told me at the Emergency Room that I was being referred to ENT- Ear, Nose & Throat so I was surprised when I saw that and had to look it up! I did comment to my hubby when we were leaving though that I didn't know why I was being referred to ENT because I had nothing wrong with ears, nose or throat!! Now we know!!

@RebeccasFarm I was seen by professionals at the hospital, but yes, I was referred to a specialist for my condition.
