Tough going

This infection I’m wrestling with is proving tough in every sense: tough to identify, tough to treat and tough to cope with. I’ll be undergoing a bronchoscopy on Wednesday to try to pin down the problem. Meanwhile, I’m on a course of antibiotics so strong it’s just about wiped me out. Five times the usual dose, every six hours, morning and night, and leaving me with an intense feeling of nausea every day. Pray the latter may pass and that I find the strength to eat a little. I know I need to but the very thought makes me feel even more unwell. As I feared, it’s going to be a long haul.
