So thank you for your advice yesterday. So I ended up in the critical assessment unit at around 5. I had bloods taken which showed that my platelets were low (white cells basically) my blood pressure was low and my electrolytes were low. My temperature had stabilised at that point. We had the usual fight to get bloods which caused me a lot of upset then they put me on intravenous fluids and antibiotics. I then had tablet antibiotics and phosphate tablets which unfortunately caused me to be sick a couple of times. I’ve got to go back this afternoon to collect antibiotics which I’ll be in for a few days and have 3 more rounds of the tummy injection for my immune system. Then more bloods on Friday. I got home around 9.45. X
