Antibiotics and a looming hospital visit

I think I have yet another chest infection,  its  my 8th one this year…

Off I toodle to the Doctors, tell him what’s wrong and yep Bob’s your Uncle & Fanny’s your Aunt I have another chest infection.

Horse pills are prescribed with strict instructions to go back on Friday if I am no better and guess what…. hospital for IV antibiotics.

I had pneumonia last year and after 3 courses of antibiotics they decided I needed to go in to the cancer unit to have a stronger dose via IV. I was on a drip for 48 hours, lied through my teeth about how much better I felt so they would let me go home.

The unit I am under has a 14 bed ward and is used mainly for end of life care, I felt like such a fraud and denying someone the chance of specialist care in those last few days.

I have no problem going to a general ward but apparently my Consultant does, full of germs, don’t know how to look after cancer patients, you name it he has a reason why…

I’m off to swallow horse pills, keep warm drink plenty of fluids and do anything else I can to avoid being admitted.

Wish me luck
