It's an eventful week...

 This week has been an adventure. My cousin who is 11 is staying with us until her mother recovers from a real severe infection in her leg. The antibiotics that she was on was not helping and did not clear it all the way. Her left leg got better but the right leg did not. 

They had to switch her antibiotics to something stronger hoping it helps but she has to be on it for a week and has to stay in the hospital. This is stressful for everyone. 

No one was really prepared for this. She has been switched to another antibiotic trying to clear the infection and they are putting creams on it to help the blisters so that it can drain and pop them. Right now her leg does look a little better but it looks like one giant blister and it looks like she got burned but she did not its just the infection. They have done 2 Ct scans and it is just waiting to be read. 

They have an advanced infection specialist coming in trying to figure out what to do next because no one is sure what to do. 

They may have to drain it and other things just not sure. 

Now my cousins brother is going to end up having to go to the hospital for his foot because it is too infected.

What is this mystery illness

 I caught the thing that should not be named. I went to the hospital for an infection that was not getting well and I was told I did not have anymore but it appeared I did. I started feeling bad a day or two after I went and then I went to a gathering. 

A few days later my throat started to feel funny. It was not an achy thing but a drain to the point it was hard to talk. A few more days later it got to the point I could not talk and I had this cough that would not go away. I coughed and coughed. I was running a fever, got the chills, chest was hurting from the all the coughing. I coughed up so much phlegm that I could not sleep comfortably. No matter how I turned I could not sleep. I had to take sleep aids that my body fought off and finally got sleep 12 hours later.

 I took what I had cold medications to help it and it did until I ran out. I had to scrape up a few dollars to go to dollar tree and get the Advil for cold and flu which was a sample pack and worked good. I also got the cold and flu for night and day and it worked great. I slept great until the last one now I am taking Thera flu and I don't like it but it kind of helps. 

I woke up this morning to my ear hurting and feels like it is closing off. It normally happens when I am sick but I used ear drops to help it but it made it worst and things are muffled.  I also use vapor rub at night and when I need it. It helps with the pain and opens up my passages enough to help me breathe. I have yet to loose my taste and smell this time so hopefully I get better soon. 

I went to the hospital and I have an ear infection which was given oral antibiotics for. I told them it was hard to hear out of it but now it is popping and sounds like bubbles in it again so hopefully that clears up.

The COVID tests are negative but we are all stick sick. After 2-3 weeks I stopped coughing up phlegm. I did how ever had to go to the hospital for an ear infection and they gave me antibiotics but that did help with me coughing and I am starting to feel better but this ear ache is still here.
