Amoxicillin and X-Rays

Quote of the day: This looks like it's just a regular old ear infection. -RNP Tomase
Song of the day: Look What Happened by Less Than Jake

Today, after my hair-cutting escapade, I did some other fun stuff.

First, I went and picked up Spencer for lunch. We went to Ruby Tuesday's and upon his recommendation, I had a buffalo chicken burger. It was delicious; he was totally right. yumm. :)

Then, I was planning to take him home, but he said he didn't mind coming to the doctor with me, so we went straight there. The reason I had to go to the doctor was because I have an earache. It started hurting yesterday and didn't go away. Turns out, I have an ear infection in my left ear. So I got a prescription for amoxicillin to clear it up.

While I was with the RNP, I asked her to check out my elbow because, as you know, that's been bothering me too. She said maybe I chipped a bone and sent me downstairs for xrays. So I got xrays on my elbow. Results should come back tomorrow, I think. If nothing's wrong with the bone then I suppose I just continue on with my icing/heating/stimming/therapy-ing and hopefully it will go away. If not it's something really bad like a ligament tear... but I don't think that's what it is.

After dragging poor Spence to the doctor's and xray place with me, we went back to his house. I played rock band with Liv and Carter for a while, and his mom promised me chicken salsa (my favorite meal ever) sometime this week. So Thursday I'm going back over there for dinner. Woohoo!!

On my way back home, I went to pick up my prescription. My conversation with the pharmacist at CVS:
"Can I help you?"
"I'm here to pick up a prescription.
...
Aubin."
"Do you have insurance?"
"Yes."
...
"I need to see your card."
"Oh. I've never picked a prescription before so I don't really know what the deal is."

***WHERE "..." indicates an awkward pause.***

It was SUCH a struggle. I needed some guidance and she sure wasn't giving any. Anyway, I got my pills from the unhelpful pharmacist and went on my way. On the way to the door I looked at permanent hair dye. I didn't buy any today, so I'll have to go back.

Sidenote: I never got around to writing about how the girl's hair dying party went, but it was a smashing success. We had several shades of red and purple, and it was awesome. The best was Manic Panic brand in Bubble Gum Pink and Vampire Red. I got the pink. Some strands of my hair are still colored. I really like it (its not actually pink in my hair) and I kind of want to dye it that color for a while. Hence the permanent hair dye. The day after we did it a couple people that I know and some that I don't know asked me "why everyone's hair is that color today." And by everyone they meant 10 girls on the swim team. Apparently we made our mark on campus, haha. Anyway everyone thought it was really awesome, and I can't wait to do it again next year! The only problem for me, Toni, and Kaitlyn was that we had to swim for a couple days with our hair dyed... oh well. It still worked out great!

In conclusion: lunch = delicious. left ear = on the mend. left elbow = tbd. pharmacist = useless.

Oh well. It happens. At least I got to see Spence and get my wreck of a body on the right track!!
