@outlander It is a big thing to make the decision to go to hospital alone.
Infections play havoc with our wellbeing and you have been struggling with it all this time.
So glad you were treated well, and it is being managed. Keep fluids up, let the antibiotics do their job.
Take lots of care and only worry about exams if you are up to it. See if they will let you sit a little later so you can perform at your best.

Hi @outlander
I had a really clear insight about what seemed to be happening - I was concerned that there was infection present and it needed treatment and really really really glad you got yourself to the hospital
And glad you didn't have to stay as well
I know - I really hate hospitals - I don't think anyone likes the ED - it is no fun at all with everyone feeling ill or in pain waiting for treatment
But just as I knew you were really ill I am pretty sure you will be okay now - you have done the right thing
