Augmentin sucks!

It's official... Augmentin makes you feel worse than what the chest infection does.

Up till Friday I just thought I was overtired and overheated, but noooo it's a bloody chest infection. Felt crap yes, but now I feel like death warmed up. These bloody tablets give you a temperature, well I think they do, it's so hot again it's hard to tell what is the heat and what is drug induced. They made you feel sick or it could be the heat again. I'm not sure, but I know I'm having great waves of nausea all day long. They give you stomach cramps, no wait that could be down to the heat too: I don't know anymore! And I am so tired, but it's too bloody hot to sleep anywhere.

I should count my blessings though that this infection can be cured with penicillin this time and that I'm not being dragged into Broomfield hospital for a ten day stay. They would have had to drag me in kicking and screaming this close to Oliver's wedding I can tell you and they would have to confiscate more than my slippers to keep me there!
I did feel really sorry for myself though when I should have been going out to a BBQ and then at the last moment decided to stay and watch TV on a Saturday night instead, but this close to the marital finishing line, I'm taking no chances.

I can tell you, when I do get the green light it's going to feel so weird waking up from the operation and feeling full of life again. Ok, it's not going to be a hospital bed of roses owing to the fact that I'm going to be in a lot of pain thanks to having my chest cut open and my heart and lungs removed, but I will feel normal again and that's going to be amazing.

So for the time being, I'm going to bed and feel sorry for myself, but I will do whatever I have to do to be well for Oliver and Reni's big day.

Lots of love Debbie x
