Hospital nerve's

Another wonderful post by Henery! We need you to do a daily post to bring smiles to our faces!! :lol:

Another reason I don't like going to hospital's (as well as the G.P's ) is I always pick up a virus or bug! I picked up going to the G.P's for a blood test is a flu bug which has been in no reason to leave my body coming up to the 2 week mark on Tuesday! I feel like wearing one of those white face marks everytime I go to these wonderful places!

I think most people have some sort of nervous thing that happens to them prior to a doctor's visit. For me, I can't sleep the night before. Even if I take a sleeping tablet, it just doesn't happen.

Yup, here I am. 3 a.m. the night before an appointment and I'm up playing word games because I can't sleep.

Hi Jana I only read this now when probably it's all over. If I'm still on time I wish you all the best. If not then hopefully all went well. Lots of spoons!

Thanks, Tessa!

I did see an infectious disease specialist yesterday and have started on a very strong broad spectrum antibiotic. Had one of the most thorough exams I've ever had and the doctor was very kind and concerned. If the infection under my thumbnail doesn't clear they will want to do another surgery to get a better tissue sample to run more tests. Expensive, but the doctor was very nice and said he could keep me on maintenance antibiotics until I was ready to have any procedure done. But who knows, maybe this will all be cleared up in 10 days! :woohoo:

Hopefully so, Jana!

Do these infections happen regularly to you? I'm asking just because your situation very much differs from mine. I only happened to suffer from bilateral pneumonia twice during the first ten months in hospital, and once more when back home......but all that happened about four years ago. Been feeling fine ever since, at least infectionswise... :silly:
