Mmm...Penicillin

If you ever look at a red spot on your body and think 'what the hell is that?' You should probably see a doctor sooner rather than later.

I thought I was getting a boil but it appeared not. The doctor said it looked more like a bite from a spider or some kind of reaction to a mosquito. I don't remember getting bitten, it wasn't itchy, just rather painful to touch and my leg was in agony when trying to walk. It turned into some massive swollen lump on my thigh and by massive I mean maybe a few 50c coins in a circle.

I got given penicillin which I haven't taken in quite some time and I have to take 4 tablets a day and each tablet is 500mg. For some reason my body doesn't like any type of medication like that and it makes me really sleepy. I hate it.

I think I have 2 days left of tablets. I am really looking forward to not taking them any more.

But the 'bite' is clearing up and now looks like a yellow bruise. Still in a rather large circle.
