oh god! i'm deformed!

My eyes are bloody swollen after taking antibiotics prescribed by my doctor on account of my dry hacking cough. It was horrible trying to get to sleep last night. I woke up and startled at the sight of my puffy swollen eyes in the mirror. It was so gross; it was almost fascinating! (yes i know that sounds a little too macabre) I almost wanted to take a picture of it, except that I was way too freaked out.

It turns out that I have an allergy to amoxil or the penicillin family. But that doesn't sound right. Penicillin is so widely available that I must have had some previously! It's Penicillin, for crying out loud!

Anyways, the puffiness and swollenness have gone down substantially. Hopefully it will all clear up soon so that I can go out for some fresh air. I've been cooped in the house for close to 3 days!
