Hi everyone, I was in hospital recently for 4 nights for a kidney infection. It was a scary experience at times, with me experiencing hallucinations (possibly from a high fever and/or strong medication) and all the other symptoms that came with the infection. I also didn’t sleep or eat particularly well while I was in there. I was on strong IV antibiotics and I’m feeling better from the infection symptoms now, but now I’m out, my head feels SO foggy, like I’ve been drugged almost. I’m only on oral antibiotics now (no strong painkillers etc). I just feel really spaced out and fuzzy headed. My first night at home resulted in strange dreams where I kept waking up thinking I was being attacked. Luckily that has calmed down Is this normal after being in hospital for an illness like a kidney infection? I’m supposed to be going back to work tomorrow, but cognitively I feel so fuzzy. I’m a teacher as well, so need to be more ‘on it’. I wasn’t given any safety netting when discharged (and tbh I didn’t ask enough questions, as I was so exhausted and desperate to get home to DH and the kids), so not quite sure what to do next.
