Staying with a family member for a week to get PHD work done. Drove down Monday, did 4 solid 15 hour days, DS now here too after lovely DH bought him down on Thurs. Due to drive back tomo. Aunt having an absolute ball playing with and looking after DS.

Was planning in finishing up a few bits today and then playing with DS an heading to park this afternoon but overnight slight disaster struck.

I have a mahoosive abbcess on my thigh, have already had 2 x course of flucloxacillin and 1 x course of plain penicillin - thought it had gone, last night it reappeared larger than ever. Been to on call doc who toted with admitting me to local hosp for IV antibios and surgical drainage but persuaded him to let me 'home' as driving back 200 miles tomo. I have a double dose of Co-Amoxiclav now.

I feel very sick, massive headache, and sore. So am in bed. But I miss DS and haven't really seen him bar bedtime and meals and an hour each morning for past few days.

AIBU to stay in bed? And any advice on getting rid of this stupid stupid vile sore infection??
