Another early wakeup call at 4am this morning not from the beast but from the infection instead. Every time i roll over and lay on my side pressure seems to build up in my lungs and it becomes painful and very hard to breathe. Soon as i lay back on my back or sit up the pressure eases and i can breathe easier and the pain is more manageable. I hope these antibiotics have started working as this infection is definitely the worst i have every had. I am glad i don’t have a fever and seating all the time like i did the first day i found out i had this infection. It was so bad and the fever was so strong i was hallucinating and seeing wasps flying around the flat when its not even the time of year for wasps. I think this goes back to my childhood when i was stung by a swarm of wasps after they chased me for miles from throwing an apple in their nest by accident. It was my father who had to battle the wasps and throw me into a bath of cold water in order to stop them from attacking me. They was in my hair and clothes and i ended up stung all over.
I have my dentist appointment later today so will finally start to get the last of my teeth removed and then get a set of dentures made. I can’t wait! i am sure this is what has given me the bad infection that i have now. Due to me getting a nasty abscess and having to burst it myself as the dentist wouldn't see me for 4 weeks. When i did burst it i ended up making myself ill and had to go and get antibiotics from the doctor in order to get rid of the infection. After the infection had gone from my tooth my chest started to play up, well my back actually as it is the lung not the chest that is infected. As soon as i started getting problems with the back i reported it directly to my doctor and she told me she could hear bubbling in my right lung but nothing in my left. I then when through the week in pain and returned to the doctor to report that it had got much worst so i ended up starting a second load of antibiotics. I have been taking them religiously and waiting for them to start to take effect but it seems like it is taking a while to have any effect as the problem has now spread into my left lung also and i am now getting aches and pains on both sides of the back.
I have to admit it is a little better today than it was yesterday but its still bad and makes me feel ill. There are no other side effects to say it could be something else and to be honest it is very scary as you can’t feel exactly where the pain is coming from. My chest still gets tight every now and again and i keep feeling sick also only now and again. It is very strange. All i can do is continue to take the medication and hope it improves soon. I have had to put everything on hold and have been stuck indoors unable to walk over my mums as it is just too far to walk with my lungs like this. I am so hoping it eases away soon so i can go fishing as soon as we get some clear weather as i have been missing it so much. Its not long till we go on our fishing holiday to Cornwall so i have been making sure i have all the equipment i will need to take on all types of fishing and species of fish.
