i went to the doctor again yesterday, and she decided to have me tested for cat scratch fever, of all things. i was bitten and scratched by my cat about 2 months ago (at least) when rescuing her from a neighbor’s dog. at the time, everything seemed to heal up nicely with no problems, but the doctor seems to think there is a possibility that bacteria could have been circulating all this time and is just now manifesting in my gland. she also referred me to go see an ear, nose and throat person on friday, so if it’s not the cat bacteria, i’ll have another avenue to pursue. at the moment, the gland is over 8cm across. bigger than a golf ball! i’m still really tired, but i’m backat work today because there’s just too much to do.
