I went to California to do a service volunteer project back in March (yes in March) and on my way back to Utah I realized that I was bitten by something on my upper right arm. It was itchy and irritating but I got over it; however it wouldn't heal. I remember one night few weeks later when I got home, this thing was ready to pop out after all. It needed some force to pinch it so I did. It hurt so I wasn't sure if pinching it was the right thing. Thanks to my roommate Lyndsi who is a nurse. She helped me get the "disgusting, hard , weird looking passy "(not sure if that's how you'd spell that) out and disinfect it. We got a lot of stuff out of there; I kept them in some cotton balls. Ewwww!!! I did actually because I hoped a doctor would want to see what was inside my poor delicate arm. Lyndsi told me to go to the Dr anyway to make sure that we got everything out and that it didn't get infected. I called the University Health Center the next day and explained what happened. I spoke to a Dr and she wasn't quite helpful. She basically didn't want me to bring in the cotton balls in a very rude way so I hang up while I was put on hold to confirm the appointment. Then I never went to have it checked. In my mind, it was okay; I thought Lyndsi and I got it all out. But nope !!!
This is what it looked like after I got bitten in March.
Today after the Dr's appointment
