So, for those of you not aware, I've had a pretty bad couple of days. First, the surgeon who removed my tumor wanted me to go on an antibiotic regimen, although why I wasn't given one from the get-go defies all logic. I mean, my head incision still hasn't healed, and now looks infected. So he sent me to another clinic clear across town to get the antibiotics, only for me to basically be told that they were booked for that day and could do nothing until they had all the information they needed, records and such. Seriously, what is the matter with these people?

Then yesterday I finally met my primary care doctor, who took a culture of my head wound, and prescribed a couple of antibiotic pills. This morning I got a CT scan, and later met with another doctor, who said that before I can begin my radiation and chemotherapy, I needed to get IV antibiotics to treat the infection. I had to get the IV treatment today, which took an hour, and I will be getting the IV treatment everyday, at 8:30 AM on weekends, and on weekday afternoons, for four weeks. Ugh, I am not looking forward to that. But at least the clinic isn't far from my house. I can't do any chemotherapy or radiation until the infection is taken care of, so I guess I'll have to pray it goes well and doesn't turn for the worse.
