Stupid hospital... stupid infection

I had my last IV antibiotics at 6pm on Sunday night and went off home. Back on oral tablets now, just hope they are finishing off the job that the IV AB's started.

I have had a nurse come see me at work every day since I left SCG (Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital) to change the wound dressing and generally just check up on how it's healing. So far, seems to be going OK.

The other day the nurse stuck a cotton bud in there to see how deep the wound was. In the process she popped a pocket of fluid which has been draining for the last couple of days... now I'm paranoid that there might be another one and if it heals up without it draining then that could be a bad thing??? They don't seem worried about it at all, but I am!!!!!!

Anyway... I'm due for a fill next Tuesday, so I'm looking forward to that :) Can't wait to feel more restriced. Makes life so much easier when your brain just tells you to stop when you need to stop...

Not liking the amount of time off I've had to have so far.. but should be over soon enough I hope.
