Infection

I think my back left pin is infected.

The skin surrounding the pin has been tender for 4 days. I have been extra vigilant about applying peroxide and saline everyday and sometimes betadine as well.  But nothing is working. It's not really oozing and I can't tell if its red because my hair has grown around it.

But now I have a headache and I'm worried. I've called my doctor and am waiting for a call back about what to do. I have an appointment in 2 days and hope it's not so bad that I have to go in sooner.

I've switched back to norco for my pain medication and even that won't help the headache. But it is helping my leg pain!

I think I'll take my temperature.

Now that the Halo is off I just want to feel normal again! Other parts of my body are taking there sweet time. I still have neck soarness and can't sleep normally. I've tried sleeping on my stomach, but the bend in my lower back is too much to bear. I can sleep on my sides, but stupidly got my tattoo touched up last S...
