I had a little accident

when I was in Thailand and unfortunately the healing of my wounds did not go smoothly. I immediately put myself on anitbiotics - over the counter drugs which require a prescription in most countries dont in Thailand..... another friend at usyd studies the Manuka honey and all of its wound healing and antibacterial properties - shes quite famous..... does lots of interviews like this and this anyway you get the idea....

Even with these precautions I seem to have I picked up an infection. OK so it might be my fault cos the antibotics ran out when I got back to Australia, I didnt get any more and an infection probably developed before I started using the honey but thats beside the point.

So on Tuesday I visited a doctor - the medical kind - he decided to put me back on antibiotics - the same kind I had myself on and also give me a tetanus shot as it was 7 years since my last. Now while Im a fan of getting free vaccinations I really hate tetanus shots, they ache for days and as it had been a few weeks since the accident I really would have thought I would have developed some symptoms, but I had it anyway....

So with a very sore arm and my foot bandaged in cling wrap (well that isnt quite true, it was actual dressing, but covered with a clear plastic material which looks a lot like cling wrap....) I went home on the orders to keep my foot higher than my hip as much as possible.

Thankfully I had some work to do which kept me off my feet, but I dont think its getting any better... might have to head back on Monday morning. At least I know they wont give me another tetanus shot!
