When I had the finger infection the doctor said new govt. regulations mean they are not allowed to order a repeat on antibiotics, even if they know you are going to need more than one pack.

Yeah, I’m keenly aware of antibiotic stewardship 😣
I wasn’t aware of the new guidelines so fingers crossed that’s the only issue. I’m hoping that I might be able to get a pack each 5 days without a fight…
This isn’t ideal for me either. But unfortunately due to being immunocompromised and having already had a root canal the infection roars right back every time I finish. Starts spreading into my jaw and neck.
I’m just trying to contain it until I can get seen so I don’t end up in hospital with sepsis.

You betcha
I’m wondering at what point I can legally be classified as the walking dead

I think attacking people and eating their brains is the legal line, as long as you don’t get that far you’re just walking wounded.
