ok so basically the antibiotics I was on weren't working. I'm on some stronger ones now, and a swab has been taken to be sent to the lab to confirm what type of infection it is, so if necessary they will change my infection again. It will be wednesday before they know, though :( In the meantime I have to start dressing the wound again.
