I have an infection. Oh no! I wasn’t showing any symptoms. This was a standard check. But they caught it quickly and have started me on three antibiotics.
The doctor said that if the infection were a person they currently know that it’s is an “asian male”. They drew more blood to run tests to help determine the heigh, weight, and eye color of the “asian male” so that they can identify it. Once they have these additional details they will be able to identify it and cut back to a single antibiotic.
The doctors are also going to do a spinal tap to see if it has spread into my spinal fluid and brain. This isn’t as scary as it sounds. If it has spread then I need to be on the antibiotics an extra week.
