Something's Bugging Me...
Well, my leg, to be precise...
I've been going back and forth to the nurse with this sore bit on my leg for a couple of weeks now, getting it dressed (last time and this time, with dressings with silver in them... although I'd prefer white gold)... and today I went along just after dinner, and got the results of the swab they took... which could have been better.
Basically, the test came back positive for Ecoli AND Streptococcus B. God knows how they got there, but I've got penicillin and some other anti-biotic or whatever to try and shift them. 2 of the one kind 4 times a day, and 1 of the other twice a day. With that and my anti-depressants, I'm going to be rattling for the next week, and I dread to think what sort of state my head and stomach are going to be in.
This all appeared about the time I was moving, and working in lots of old and dirty stuff... and I was stressed out and feeling a bit low, so I guess my resistance to bugs and beasties wasn't the best... but I wish they'd just bugger off so my leg can get better. I mean, it's lots better than it was (at least it's not leaking out this watery stuff anymore), but I want it to be better yet by the time Viki comes... not that it curtails anything I want to do (I can still walk around, and it's not really sore at all), but it's a pain in the neck (or leg, actually).
People, there's a lesson here - If you've got something wrong with you... go to the doctor, because trying to sort it out yourself just doesn't work.
