About ten days ago I was playing with my daughter. By playing I mean, she and I snuck away from Mom…read moreand Big Sis to get some Baskin Robbins. As it was, we were enjoying our sneaky deserts when I thought it would be funny to eat my Banana Royal goofily to make her laugh. So, I began making bites like a camel, she starts laughing and then I bit the heck out of my my bottom lip (Mom later called it, Karma).
Cut to ten days later - The bite becomes a ball about the size of a $.25 gum ball. I rinse with it all, even put a cold sore medicine on and poked a needle to drain myself but nothing helped so I needed the pros.
Since it was close to where I was at the time, I went to UrgencyMed on Bullard and Fresno. When I pulled up I noticed there weren't a lot of cars, which was awesome. However, something didn't feel right about the place. I think it was seeing a nurse (someone in scrubs) outside enjoying a vape and the building lease signs. But damnit, the lip bump had me there. So, I pulled up and parked, was about to get out but I had to check them out on Yelp. The reviews were not good at all, so I took my Flip lip to old faithful; Everyday Health Care.
Everyday Heath Care has helped me in many situations (we even had our second child there). When I pulled up, cars were lined up along side and I was like "f***!" But when I pulled into parking lot, there were only a few cars and only one other patient inside. So, don't let the cars parked around make you think they're all inside (Wait, do think that so when I have to go again, I'll have an easy time).
It had been over a year since I was there last so I had to fill out a 'new patient form' but that should be expected. I sat out in waiting room and actually brought a book to read (I always expect the worst, hence why it took me ten days to go).
Between the waiting in the front and in my actual patient room, I only had time to read a few pages and it was a Berenstein Bears book so I should have be able to flip them pages.
Dr. Wilson was my savior. Like I said, I thought the worst, so when he checked my lip boulder out and called it "awesome", I knew I was about to be ok.
I'll save the story about what he and his assistant had to do to get rid of the Mucous Cyst, but you know it was good when he thanked me for letting him experience this.
In the end, I'm at home, spitting in a cup and watching JRE online. He saved me and took my stress away. Tomorrow, school starts so a new stress begins. Thank you Dr. Brent Wilson and his whole staff for making a pretty scary situation, easy and comfortable.
P.S. we didn't really have our kid there.
