Welcome to 3 Things I’m Lovin Tuesday! Sorry I haven’t had a post since Friday, but unfortunately my effed up armpit has been ruining my week. So thats’ why I have 2 good things, and 1 that SUCKS!
1. Mini Surgery (TMI Warning)
I’ll start with bad things first… Last Wednesday, I noticed a painful bump in my armpit. I thought it was an ingrown hair and tried to get rid of it but over the weekend it got worse and worse. On Sunday after my run, It hurt so bad (and was the size of a big gumball) that I knew I had to go to the doctor asap. Yesterday the doctor said it was an abscess (look it up on Wikipedia if you want to puke) that had to be “removed”. I instantly freaked. I started antibiotics yesterday and today was the un-lucky day. The procedure only took about 15 minutes but the first couple minutes were excruciatingly painful because the local anesthesia wasn’t working well. It felt like a huge knife going into my arm (which was probably the case). After the 2nd shot kicked in I wasn’t in that much pain but I felt lots of cutting and digging. Hearing scissors snipping away did not help. Then the doctor said, “Oh, I just found another abscess”. The whole thing was horrible. Now I wait to see what it was…probably some kind of staph infection. Now my wound is stuffed with gauze and I can’t get stitches until Friday, to let it drain if needed. That also means no working out for at least a week. Boooo!
2. Luna Chocolate Dipped Coconut
Now onto the good stuff! This is my new favorite snack bar. I think it’s been around for at least a few months, but I just got my hands on my first one last week. I’ve had them every other day since then. It’s just enough coconut and just enough chocolate, and has the perfect blend of crunch & chew. Just like biting into paradise…ahhh.
3. Game of Thrones
My faves! Khal Drogo and the Khaleesi. He is hawt and she goes from shy girl to bad a$$ biotch!
It took me Saturday, Sunday, and Monday…but I watched all 10 episodes of season 1. It is a tad bit confusing understanding the Kings, Lords, yada yada, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. It is an intense show with so much going on. Just the first episode had a drunken dwarf, twin brother-sister banging, and (attempted) child murder. It is intense! The last 2 episodes were my two favorites, things happen I would have never thought a show would do on season 1 with their main characters. I can’t wait until season 2 starts in April.
What’s sucky or amazing for you this week?
Oh jeez! That sounds terribly painful, but I am glad you’re now in the healing phase. In grosser news, I’m eventually going to have the same thing happen, but to my bottom two wisdom teeth. They never fully came in and so the gums around them are too soft and will eventually form an abscess. ICK. I’m actually planning to get them out ahead of time so I don’t have to deal with it. Hope the healing goes well for the rest of the week, ouchies!
That sux about your teeth! It will definitely be better to get them out sooner than later. It helps alot if you are put under…just being “numb” is no bueno.
Oh girl, that’s AWFUL! I would seriously have freaked out with that whole armpit situation. Yikes!
It was BAD! Scared to get stitches on Friday.
That just sound so painful! I hope you’re getting better though!
Starting to get better!
Awwe, sorry to hear about your abscess! I actually had something similar on my back and had it removed too, it was terribly painful. So was taking the gauze out (hate to tell you) hope it heals well!
Oh man! Luckily the gauze out wasn’t so bad… but putting new gauze in was AWFUL! It felt liked it was soaked in alcohol.
Mmm I love that flavor of Luna, its one of my favorites. Good luck with the surgery!
Oh no! I’m sorry that you had to go through all of that! I hope you are feeling much better now! It seems as though we are both falling apart. I hope things get better soon!
Getting better day by day, not looking forward to getting stitches!
You poor thing! Just the sight of that needle makes me cringe!!
At least you have two good things to weigh it out, right?
I have heard Game of Thrones is amazing! Isn’t it on HBO, no? If so, I don’t get HBO and therefore miss all the good shows.
I know, the needle was HUGE! UGH
Yup, Game of Thrones is HBO.
Ouch, poor you! Sorry to hear about that. Great to hear you’re looking on the positive side though – there’s always more good things than bad if you just look for them!
I’m trying! Just dreading getting stitches soon…
Ahh yikes I am so sorry lady, you poor thing! I hope you are feeling much much better now!
A little better! I just want to get the stitches part over with, never had stitches before, yikes!
Ahhh! So sorry about your armpit! I’m glad the procedure is over with though
I hope you continue to heal!
Thanks! Getting better every hour

OMG that sounds horrible, hopefully it drains ok and nothing worse happens. That just sounds not only painful but also annoying!!
I need to find that Luna bar-I just tried the coconut Clif one and it was amazing. Yay for coconut!!
Ouch, girl! I feel your pain, I’ve actually had a staph infection abscess in my *ahem* nether regions before and it was god-awful. Wishing you quick healing!
AH I am so sorry to hear about your armpit. I hope you’re doing all right!
