I'm so thankful for antibiotics.
My momma had to spend yet more time in the hospital again for mystery fever. Well she's back home now and doing well, but then she had a round of chemo and a few days later noticed the earliest signs of a UTI (urinary infect for those who don't know the abbreviation.
To anyone else this is the simple case of getting some antibiotics. For her on chemo it becomes a potentially life threatening case of sepsis rather quickly. However .. this time she called her Dr. right away and got a shot and some pills, and... she managed to avoid the hospital again. Doing better now. That makes me so happy.
Also I managed to need some antibiotics of my own. Every once in a while I will get something along the lines of tonsilitis. Thankfully it's easily fixed by a prescription for antibiotics. Sure enough within a couple of days I was feeling better.
How thankful I am for antibiotics.
Hope you all are managing to stay well.
