So just to let y’all know that we’ve discovered the reason I’m a poorly gal right now; say hello to kidney infection number 39 of the last 3 years! We had a bit of palaver, because normally LMC keep antibiotics in stock for me to start as soon as I’m unwell (I walk the fine line of trying desperately not to use antibiotics, but when I do need them, I need to start them immediately or I jump to sepsis very quickly), but they hadn’t been replaced from last months use (this brexit bullshit is hitting us hard with medication shortages already; something I’ve spoken about for the last year) so o has to speak to ring The Bat Phone, aka the Oncall GP. Thankfully they were, as usual, excellent. The dr told me I was an expert patient, and that she wishes half her patients were so on the ball! She genuinely got really excited when I told her my mum was a manager for the actual Expert Patients Program 😂! Anyways, I’m on high dose antibiotics, and 3 doses in I’m already starting to improve 🙌🏻! Phew 😅! Hoping tomorrow will be a better day all round... but mostly, I’m hoping I’ll get some sleep tonight! I had a 2 hour nap at lunch time, but I’ve been utilising pure spite and willpower to stay awake til a reasonable time, so that I actually have a chance at a good nights sleep 😴 fingers crossed 🤞🏻! #igotakidneyinfection #kidneyinfectionssuckass #utissuck #poorlygal #antibioticsareamazing (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv95zXCnfIY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n1uwsk522l46
