Feeling better

My temperature spiked as expected it would do at some point.  This was on sunday evening.  I was put onto IV antibiotics  of various forms and some blood taken from my PICC line and straight from a vein.  The sample from the vein is used to determine if the PICC line is the source of the infection.

The next day I was shagged and slept for a fair bit of it.

On tuesday I had to make sure I kept taking panadol every four hours otherwise I would get the rigors.  Brought back memories of the leg infection.

Then on wednesday I get a stinking headache which would not go away.  No idea what caused it but it was not much fun.

I stopped taking the antifungal medication a couple of days ago and my liver returned to normal very quickly.  They have now put me on a different antifungal medication.  It is an interesting effect – a chance of hallucinations.  I haven’t had any yet although I did turn the lights off last night and it was as though someone had turned a strobe light on somewhere, the whole room was flashing at a rapid rate between light and dark.  Even more fun with my eyes shut.

BTW: The antifungal medication is to prevent fibrosis of the lungs.   Nasty.

I have also moved rooms due to renovations and the ‘superbug’.  I picked up the superbug during one of my previous visits.

I will post a photo later of my new room.
