The doctor is starting to agree with me that it is actually the infection that is making me sick not the antibiotics. I haven't taken any yet today hoping to avoid throwing up and anticipating a change in meds. I threw up anyway about an hour ago. The good news is not as much.

The doc will be calling me back to decide what to do. They may have me go to the hospital and get IV antibiotics and fluids now since I am dehydrating even though I am trying so hard to keep putting in fluids.

My neck has swollen back up and is painful even with the patch. You can feel the heat coming out of it when you touch it.

I have a friend here now so at least I feel better to have someone here. She drove here from WI. That's quite a friend huh?
