Emergency room and hospital visit

Well, coming off reaching 50 percent done chemo, I started to feel a bit off Friday night. My left ear started to hurt and swell.
I woke up Saturday and it was getting worse and I also took my temp to realize I had a fever.
Jeff took me to the ER that morning. I ended up in the hospital for two nights as they tried to get my fever down and pumped me with antibiotics for my infection, which they said was cellulitis.
It was a pretty horrible experience not just because I was unwell and worried for my own health but Ontario hospitals aren’t in the best shape. It was crowded, noisy, felt dirty and was overall traumatic honestly!
I can’t even talk about some things I saw and experienced right now.
It’s also shaken my confidence a bit. I have three more cycles to go and I really hope I can stay healthy and on track.
