On the good side, HBO isnt a big deal and either is the IV antibiotics. You would get a picc line and do the meds thru that. Hopefully if you have to go that route, its a short term thing. I did HBO with the picc line antibiotics 3 times a day for about 8 months. Was a very long 8 months! Mine was from some major complications from having my jaw removed and the surgery failed, all kinds of unusual issues. You situation sounds like it shouldnt be too bad, just time consuming.
Good luck!!!
