What a Fun Weekend

Oh! what a weekend hopefully never to be repeated.
The story starts last Thursday week, when I went to the Doctors with a bit of an infection.
The Doctor sent away a sample and back came the histology report to say I need this particular antibiotic for this bug that I had contracted.
Now my body does not tolerate antibiotics well I have a list of them that I should not take, but this bug is only destroyed by 3 known anti bugs. ( now anti bugs are what our family call antibiotics just a pet name) this one I had never taken before so did not know if I could tolerate it, but willing to try.

So off I trot to the pharmacy and am giving the instructions for taking the pills, must be taken with food this is important 4 times a day for 5 days, yeah "easy "say I .
So I took the pills for 2 days starting on Wednesday evening and although I felt a little " like I was taking something my body did not like " I continued to pop the pills. each pill making me more unsettled inside.
Until Friday night at 2.45am I awoke feeling terrible I had chest pains, palpitations my hands were numb and my mouth and throat so dry I could not speak, I was literally seeing stars, guess what! I panicked.
After a few moments I realised there was something serious going on here, and called my neighbours, who appeared at the door in no time at all and before I knew anything else I was being bundled into an Ambulance and on the way to hospital......I really thought I was going to die. I have never felt any thing so bad.

As soon as I arrived at the Hospital they said "yes reaction to Antibiotic" they wired me up to all sorts of machines for a few hours, but then pronounced me okay, as time went on obviously the drug got weaker in the body. I finally got home on Saturday feeling like someone had taken the stuffing out of me, and it has taken 3 days for me to feel anywhere normal.

I went back to see the doctor yesterday and she told me to take it very easy for at least 3 /4 days.
So I am sewing, and watching the TV and playing DVD's.
Here is a pincushion I made yesterday, I belong to a couple of groups where we do pincushion swaps so this will go to one of them.
