Yeah, the first nurse I saw on Saturday was really helpful. Kind lady. The one I saw at the hospital yesterday was younger, and not so nice... she seemed like she didn't really know what she was doing?? I basically told her what to do, got her to redress me and that was that. Going to see the doctor today to see how to care for it from now on. The antibiotics seem to be working, the redness up my leg has gone down loads, and it's nowhere near as painful... so hopefully I'll be back to my best soon.
Worst thing is, I never get ill or anything. But a few weeks ago I hurt my wrist and had to take 5 or so days off work, and then did this, and have had to take more time off... so when I get paid this month it's really gonna hurt. Because of course, my bosses don't pay me sick pay or anything...
Still, like you said - at least I've not broken anything, or the infection's spread further up my leg. The nurse said if it was to I could end up in trouble, in hospital on a drip. Nobody wants that!!
