Glad to hear you are starting to feel better Ira. Don't let it fool you into trying too much too soon though. Hope the appointment goes well tomorrow.

The other two look okay. The infected one is getting significantly less oozy and the fluid is much clearer now, so hopefully it will just naturally close up.

Ginger ale always helped my nausea. There are a couple brands here made with real ginger that are good.
Please continue to take good care of the infection. A couple months ago my cousin had an infected foot and was in the hospital and they removed the infected flesh. She was on antibiotics but the infection did not get under control and spread. On Monday, she was admitted to the hospital to remove her infected colon. Unfortunately she never woke up from the surgery and pasted away yesterday. I never knew how dangerous infections can be, even in these days. Good health to you!

I must admit that I stayed away from this thread a little because I am squeamish and oozing is not something I like reading about. tweetiepiesmom, I am so sorry about your cousin.

Sorry Marianne Marlow! Sometimes we nurses forget that a lot of people find things icky.

I hope your infection is all under control now, Ira. Continue to take everything easy to give your body plenty of time to heal.

I hope the consultant was happy with you today Ira and that you are continuing to heal well and feel better. So sorry to hear about your cousin tweetiepiesmom, it's scary how fast infections can take hold.

Seems to be. The consultant wants me to check the results of the microbiology screen to ensure that I'm on the correct antibiotics, although I finish my course tomorrow anyway, and also get the wound dressed by the practice nurse until it dries up.
Not sure I'm going to be going back to work at the end of next week at this rate, but we shall see. Improvements have happened fairly quickly.

Great news Ira but yes, it could be a mistake to hurry back too soon, you definitely need to be fully healed to prevent any further setbacks.

I think I'm at least feeling well enough to handle the straightforward cooking whilst OH cleans up after the budgies, so I can start letting them out again.
I'm going to have to keep an eye on Gwen. She decided that Aster was in her way and in beaking Aster got hold of her back feathers and ended up pulling 3 of them out. So I've also ended up handling Aster for the first time by slowly following her around the cage, when I was hoping to manage to teach one of them the slow and gentle bribery way. Alas.

Poor Aster! I hope she's ok and that she and Gwen can fix their relationship! Aster will forgive you for the handling issue, eventually!

Yeah, she got on my hand for millet, which was all she was doing before anyway. And I got her into my palm a couple of times and didn't do anything, so she got some positive hand time after.
