Writing a letter is a great start to setting things right. But please put your health first and get the antibiotics you need. Ask your doc if its possible to have a picc line and do IV antibiotics yourself at home. A visiting nurse can come check on your weekly and change the dressing. I did that for 8 long months. Taking the refrigerated antibiotics 2 times a day. It seemed like I was on that medication forever. Maybe that can work for you too. If not yes, head right to the ER and get readmitted into the hospital so you can get the medication you need to get well.
Please dont be a stranger, keep us posted. We are always in your corner!
Best wishes!!!
