Laid up at home with a leg infection

To recap, I am currently laid up at home with a leg infection. I have had the home nurses coming to give me injections up to Monday afternoon. On Monday the doctor put me on a course of oral anti-bionics. They seem to be working. The district nurse is coming every day to change my dressing. I will be happy when this is all over.

An overnight stay in Bendigo Hospital

The last two days have been eventful to say the least.
On Wednesday morning I visited to inquire about a sudden infection on my lower right leg.

It looked like a ripe sunburn but he doctor told me it was Cellulitis. A bug has got in under the skin and caused it to swell. He referred me to The Bendigo Base Hospital for an inspection and an overnight stay. The Doctors gave me a good examination, pumped some antibacterial fluid into me and gave me a bed for the night.

I did not have a good night's rest however as the ward was cold and it was a bit like Pitt St in there. Not a great place for sleeping. I was glad when they said I could go home and have the rest of my treatment at home. I could not stand another night in that place.
A couple of home nurses will visit me for the next three days to continue the treatment.
I should be OK by the end of next week.

Ears waxed out

This afternoon, I visited the Primary Care Clinic where a doctor syringed the wax out of my ears. I can now hear much better, which is great.

Continuing Education

At church this morning, Col Flitton asked me if i was a TAFE teacher. I told him that I had done some adult education in the past. He asked for my resume which I will send him. Maybe I could get another stint at Continuing Ed.

Lynn Tobin

At church this morning, Lynn Tobin was the guest speaker. The theme of her sermon was "Pick up your pen". It doesn't matter what has happened in the past, or how old you are, be prepared to start again.

Licence renewal

I had to take a day off from work at BUCO as I was feeling unwell. I feel that I was suffering from Reflux. I could not sleep at all the night before and I was having trouble breathing properly but I have since made a recovery. I have not felt like eating for two days.

I got my car and bike license renewed today and also bought a new heater. The one I has was getting very old.

A visit to the Dietician

Today, I had an appointment with the Dietician at Bendigo Hospital. I feel she gave me some good advice about food. I was feeling rather ill all day monday.
