I’m not an animal

I’m horribly disfigured.

Yes, that’s right, horribly disfigured. Over the weekend, I developed an ingrown hair in my soon-to-be-lusciously full beard (specially grown for IML weekend) that I’ve been working on for close to 5 weeks. This ingrown hair has caused something to happen that I’m just not sure. My entire lower lip, down to my chin, has puffed up with this hard lump type thingy. I can’t smile. I can’t eat (fabulous). I can’t talk easily.

I’m seeing the Dr today at 11:15am to have him look at it. I’m hoping he doesn’t make me shave my beard.

*UPDATE: Dr gave me two antibiotics (strong ones) to fight this and he swears I’ll be fine by IML weekend. No mention of shaving the beard either. Woo Hoo
