Ok so I woke up yesterday morning with the left side of face swollen and sore as heck. I put ice on it thinking that would help, it didnt. So at about 6 pm I went to ER at said hospital. Upon arriving I was quickly triaged and found my blood pressure to be way high for me. The nurse said it was because of the pain, then she had the nerve to ask if someone hit me? After being triaged so quickly I thought well maybe it wont be forever. Boy was I wrong! As I am quietly sitting there I hear people talking about how long they had been there. One lady, I am unsure as to what was wrong as she looked totally healthy, had been there since 9am! Another lady had been there since 12 and a young man who has some kind of kidney problems had been there since about 10am! Those 3 were finally seen at 1am!! I sat there waiting until 3 am and there was still 6 people infront of me and I was told it would be another 4 or 5 hours! I had to leave so the husband could go to work and I had to get kids ready to go to school. I understand that its an ER and its gonna take a while but they would take a couple people back then wait an hr- then call a couple more!
So today in the afternoon I went to another ER and was in and out in an hour and half! So thankful! Confirmed what I already knew, its an abcess. I was antibiotics and pain meds and also a list of dentists thats fees are on a sliding scale! yea! I went and got them filled and took the prescibed dose and soon after crashed! Feel better already!
