Well. It seems that my swollen, painful face is suffering from cellulitis, probably arising from the minor, but painful, fissure in the tip of my nose, itself the result of the constant itch caused by my many allergies and my constant rubbing thereof.

So I’m stuffing myself with a heavy-duty antibiotic for the next seven days.

I sure hope the swelling goes down quickly. At present, I have jowls to rival J. Edgar Hoover.
