I haven't been updating my blog as much as i would like lately due to me feeling so ill all the time. It looks like the infection has finally lifted but seems to have left me with some pain in the right lung. I have been back to the doctors to make sure it wasn’t getting bad again and she seems to think i may have a little of the residual infection left in the one lung and should be ok but may be sore and painful for a little while. i have completed 2 courses of antibiotics so there shouldn’t be any more problems for a while and i have also stopped the Verapamil until a later date just to make sure i get rid of this infection completely. She has also recommended that i go for an x-ray of the right chest just to be on the safe side and also to put my mind at rest.
I have decided to wait until the morning and if its getting better then i will leave it but if its still bad then i will ring and go straight to the hospital for the x-ray. Since i stopped the verapamil the attacks have returned on a regular basis and i am getting 2 or 3 attacks per day at the moment. i know it is due to the extreme cold weather we are having at the moment. people are saying this is the coldest and worst weather we have had in the UK in over 50 years. I have to admit it is VERY cold outside and the wind is freezing so i will be staying indoors in the warm.
Well there's not much else i can do for now except cross my fingers and hope this ache and pain goes away soon. Apart from that there are no other signs of illness or problems so i am hoping this is the end of a nightmare that i really want to forget. I have never experienced any infection like that before and i think i never want to go through it ever again. All i wish now is that the beast will go back to sleep so come on weather hurry up and warm up so i can enjoy some pain free days and maybe even go fishing again.
