I've been a very good girl, got up and was on the gp's doorstep at 9:00 AM. He took me in without an appointment and I came home with pure Penicillin to take for a week and another 500mg antibiotic to take for, well, let me see, there's 96 of them and I have to take 2 tabs 4 times a day? 12 days?

Hurts my brain to do math. LOL!!!

At least the redness had reduced in size so I was on the right track doubling up the meds I had left, even if only for one day.

We had this logistical problem with the hospital and Professor being down in Sydney and the only hospital nearby is the Public Hospital which is so overburdened and understaffed it takes hours to see anyone. Far better to see the GP and if necessary, he would send me by ambulance to the hospital, meaning instant admission. Thankfully it wasn't needed.

OK, well I need to go and lay down and I can't lift my laptop so I'm at Ray's mercy if he'll bring it in to the bedroom for me. Hmmm? don't like my chances. LOL!!!
Thank you all for your ongoing prayers and well wishes, they sure help lighten my load.
Hugs and much love, Meganne

Take care and take all the pills over the 12 days and dont over do life at the moment. Keep having cat scans, they are very good

So glad to hear that you are doing some better, and that you got the new antibiotics. Now, if I were taking that much, I would have to start on a probiotics with them so that I would not get something else...antibiotics can sure mess my system up. But...Meg, you take care. Hugs

Hi Meganne, I was sorry to read that you had picked up an infection. I am glad that you had the presence of mind to kick start the treatment by increasing your meds. These bugs can be stubborn. Do not mess around. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. God Bless. Coral
