What a week.
After getting all itchy with the first lot of antibiotics the Doctor changed them to another type.
Oh dear, this lot made me feel shivery and really cold. I kept asking Tom if he was cold and he said he wasn't, the weather was hot and so I once again went to the Pharmacy and when they looked it up, yep, they have this side effect.
So then I was itchy and feeling frozen.
When the Doctor looked it up, I hadn't been prescribed antibiotics since the middle 90's and so can only conclude that I have become allergic or whatever they call it .
I decided to cancel the Dentist as the tooth by now was settling down and I didn't fancy the trauma of having a tooth pulled and more stuff pumped into my mouth.
So now I have decided to leave things and am doing the old fashioned salt water mouth wash and hoping the tooth keeps quiet.
Who knows what I shall do if I need antibiotic in the future.
Then there was the water butt fiasco.
Tom is finding it difficult to carry watering cans up and down the stairs ( our little garden is down a set of stairs) and we don't like to keep using the hose so we thought a water butt would be the answer.
First one leaked (poured) from the tap.
Took it back and got another one that did the same thing.
Got refund as we were getting fed up with it by now, having to empty the butts each time before we could take them back.
Then I had a good idea.
We have an old council bin that we do not use.(don't tell the council, lol)
One tap costing £3.99 was fixed to the front of the bin and 'voila' a water butt for a fraction of the cost that does not leak.
Good news is, I've worked another couple of rows on the sampler. (top two)
What a great solution! Let's hear it for ingenuity! Hope that tooth settles down -- a painful tooth is no fun.
ReplyDeleteSorry you're having so many problems with the antibiotics. Let's hope the tooth gives you no more trouble. Beautiful stitching.
ReplyDeleteAntibiotics. Tried them all, the worse one was I came out in red lumps. Now there is only one I can take. The side effects are to make me feel really ill, but nothing specific. Hope it settles down. x
ReplyDeleteLike the Kardashians always say - you need a big butt that works - especially when twerking on your way down to see the doctor.
ReplyDeleteI looked more like Norman Wisdom where I was itching so much, lol
DeleteSo sorry that both the antibiotics were giving you the side effects. I am finding that since I got to three quarters of a century old that almost everything that I used to take doesn't work as well and I have some kind of side effect including my blood pressure meds. I'm not sure what a water but is but I'm glad it worked
ReplyDeletea Water butt is a big type of barrel with a tap at the bottom, usually the drain pipe is going into it to collect the rain water.
DeleteI can imagine you are so miserable. So are you on a new antibiotic now? Do you really need one? Your sampler work is gorgeous and delicate!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I did need them Ginny, I think he was being cautious in case it was infected. Sometimes I lose my confidence in these people.
DeleteI too have a sensitive tooth. I hope yours settles. I will try the rinse. Your sampler is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope this coming week is a better one for you. Your sampler is very beautiful, it could almost persuade me to pick up my silks and have a go.
ReplyDeleteSorry you've had such a hard time with the antibiotics. Hoping everything gets better soon
ReplyDeleteI once felt itchy and had a rash after a surgery, I thought it was because of the local anaesthetics (they gave me a lot) but now I see it could have been from the antibiotic you get after surgeries :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you solved your water problem and love your sampler it wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy dentist has told me in the past that they give antibiotics so that the infection doesn't get into the bloodstream when they work on the tooth. Apparently that's an actual possibility. But there are a number of different families of antibiotics, and it's unusual to be allergic to all of them, so I imagine if you need them at some point, there will be something that will work. Good luck with that tooth! It's a special kind of agony having a toothache.
ReplyDeleteYour needlework is so beautiful - even and fine.
This must be a new idea Jenny, I do not remember ever having antibiotics before when having a tooth out but I haven't had one out for years.
DeleteThat sampler is absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteGlad you came up with a solution that works. Less expensive doing the same thing is always a good thing in my book.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand your terminology. But, getting the gest of it.
Love your needle work.
Love your needlework. Good luck with the tooth. Just had a root canal done on my tooth. Was on antibiotics for two weeks as there was an infection and it went into the tissue in my mouth. I haven't been on antibiotic in over 40 years and I have quite a few allergies to meds. They found something for me to take with no side effects. Lucky me. I was a bit nervous about taking them. But it all worked for the best.
