Thank you everyone! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ! The doctor said that it did seem superficial, and small, and to keep doing the warm compresses and take ibuprofin to reduce the swelling, and that it should be gone in a couple of days (have it propped up again right now, too). If it isn't all gone by the same time next week, then I am to call them and come back in. Whew! I will be hoping and praying that it is gone really soon...
Thanks Risa- It is feeling better (enough that I can touch it now), so maybe I can give it a try. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
LOL Fred- yes, essentially that is a "doc in a box". Aka- urgent (no appointment) care, with no hospital affiliation <img src=""> .
