My roommate, Jorg, is currently in the hospital emergency room. He has a swollen testicle. He told me, the other day, that he had a swollen gland. I didn't realize he was talking about his ball.
Apparently, his discomfort got so bad this afternoon that he did a telecall with an Urgent Care doctor, who advised him to go to the ER. So he drove himself, leaving his girlfriend at the house (because she tested positive for COVID), who told me as soon as I had come inside.
I've texted Jorg a couple of times and he seems to be in okay spirits, but I can imagine how stressed he is about the bill. God knows, I stressed about mine.
He hasn't contacted his son, but was on the phone with his mom earlier. So at least one blood relative knows what's going on.
Just heard from the girlfriend that he's seen a doctor, who didn't seem too alarmed, but has ordered an ultrasound, just to be on the safe side. If it's not a strangulated testicle or something like that, they'll probably prescribe some monster antibiotics and, hopefully, he'll be able to come home soon.
I hope he's able to come home soon.
