Well i just don't know

I've been taking heavier antibiotics for this most recent flare up and it went away loke before, but only for a while, like before. While the relief lasted longer, the pain returned yesterday and has not gone away today.

I've gone back on a liquid diet. I was eating low fiber foods,and not much at that, to be honest. The most I ate was at Thanksgiving and I posted what I had.

I'll call the dr tomorrow, but the only othet option is to go back into the hospital for IV treatments. 😓

I feel like I'm failing. Like I'm doing something wrong. I know I'm doing everything I can, but this is just getting disappointing.

I can't take more time off work and I start my new position this week. The only bonus is that I have met my out of pocket so another stay is fully covered and I still have my two Indemnity policies.

What am I doing wrong? 😓

You are probably doing nothing wrong, it just seems that certain things just have a way of reoccurring. Like once you’ve had pneumonia you become susceptible to it. It seems the same with cellulitis or at least with the experience with my wife. And it always happens at the most inconvenient time.

I'm really sorry it's backsliding again, it really sounded like it was going to be a better experience this time because it sounded like you really had a head start on arresting it in its early phase before it progressed.

I think you've had enough experience managing this now and coupled with your native intelligence I can't imagine you are doing anything wrong at all. I think you would've caught any divergence from the management protocol by now. I'm sure you've done tons of research by now so you've covered all your bases.

So I really hope a doctor can see and help you soon to help you better address any possible changes the condition may be having, and do give you a real long term relief solution that you can act on soon.

I hope you're not dealing with antibiotic resistant bacteria strains this time too (maybe not, since they did help for awhile) 🤗

I don't know if it would help or if it warrants it yet but if you feel like need to go to the ER tonight, consider that an option too.

Please keep your chin up my friend, this will get sorted 🤗
