Don't get me wrong my Primary Care doc

and his supporting staffers are over all great. Tuesday I had to go in for an infected nose follicle. No doubt because of irritation due to my allergy symptoms to maple tree buds.

So as the nurse is finished checking me in and taking my vitals, she says to me, "wow inside your nose that really has to hurt. Then I hear her tell my doctor what I have and he says , "gee those are really painful." Then today a nurse that my medical insurance company provides to people with more than one chronic health condition called for her monthly check on me. She asked if I had any recent trips to the doctors so I told her. I said it was minor but it wasn't going away with home treatment so I figured I better call so infection didn't spread. Her comment was "it maybe minor but those are very painful."

I joked with my sister, that they didn't really need to keep repeating that it hurts a lot because I was quite aware of the fact since I was the one feeling it. My sister said, I should have teased them, and said, ""Well of course it hurts, I didn't just ask for an appointment because I missed all of you and wanted to say hi!" 🤣
