Complications

Ok, so I had a bit of a complication last week. On Thursday I went to see my GP and she said that she thought my scar had a bit of an infection because it looked quite red and puffy and I was still in quite a lot of pain with it, so she prescribed me some antibiotics. I've never had any problems with antibiotics before, so I wasn't really worried too much. However, I woke up at about 1am and I felt like my throat was closing and it was really difficult to breathe. I was sweating and my heart was hammering, I got up but still felt really bad and was still struggling to breathe. My thought at this point was that something was happening internally - perhaps bleeding or swelling - I was absolutely terrified and I was so scared, I honestly thought that I was about to die. Anyway, I woke my hubby and we went to A&E, where they ran loads of tests and took loads of blood. They kept me in overnight and eventually came to the conclusion that I had had a bad reaction to the antibiotics. They gave me some more tablets to counteract the effects of the antibiotics and eventually sent me home.
That was 4 days ago now and I feel fine again. I think I probably scared myself more than anything else, but it was a very scary time nevertheless. However, at least my neck is starting to feel a lot better and I am regaining quite a lot of head movement, which is good because I have to drive this weekend and looking left and right will be quite important!
