Thanks again!
John's been in considerable pain from his heel today -- it seems to be painful when it's infected, it doesn't seem to bother him at other times.
They've had to ask for his antibiotics in liquid form -- John has always chewed pills, and these latest ones are very hard, and he can neither chew nor swallow them. He should get the new ones tomorrow.
Miracle of miracles, I managed to get an appointment to see the GP this morning, I've been trying for months! Got a new, much stronger antibiotic, so expect to be feeling pretty rough for a few days, but hopefully I'll be able to wave bye bye to my own infection in a week's time. Also got the new Thyroxine prescription sorted out, so I should be fighting fit by then!
I'm so sick of feeling ill!
