After this last weekend where I looked like I had the mumps, Shelby convinced me that a Dr appt. was necessary to find out what was causing the swelling on the left side of my face. So I drove up to Columbia today and the Dr. was very interested to find that I had an infection of the parotid gland (a saliva gland) which I guess is fairly rare. Rare enough that all together I had 4 different people checking out the greenish saliva coming from the "sick" gland. Nurse Practitioner, Dr Zitch, and 2 students. All with their fingers in my mouth just checking it out. Ordered some strong antibiotics which he feels should clear it all up. I made the very best of the day by having a some friends ride along with me so we could do lunch (hurts to chew so I had soup and breadsticks at Olive Garden, yum!) and we shopped till we dropped.
Shelby had a very big day with a semi-truck delivery and a crane to unload it in our back yard this morning.
