Day four, five and six.

Not really much to update on day four. I was still bruised, still had swelling in my face and eyes, still blood shot and was still very tired. I started to feel nausea kicking in on day four which affected my eating. I thought I felt that way as I had to keep putting these disinfectant drops in my nose and it would go down my throat tasting like salty soap, but as day 5 came I realised it was a little more than just the drops making me feel sick. I think I slept for most of day four just to rid myself of the nausea.

Day five I started to feel really really sick. I didn't want to eat, the thought of food made my stomach turn. Even drinking a small amount of water was making me feel like being really sick. I began to get a fever and a pounding headache that not even paracetamol could touch. I couldn't breathe through my nose as big hard scabs had formed on the inside and I didn't want to touch my nose other than applying these drops and Vaseline as instructed by my Doctor. I told my Father something was up and that I was feeling really unwell. He told me to keep up with the medication and if I still felt sick on the morning of day six, we would call the Doctor and see what he said.

Day six arrived and boy did I feel ill. I had reached breaking point. My high fever remained, my headache was in full force and I just wanted to be sick. My Father phoned the Doctor who said it was normal to have a bit of a temperature and a headache, but told my Father that I must stop taking the anti-biotic's immediately and prescribed me another one to take for the remaining five days until my cast was to be removed. I did as I was told and began taking the new medication on the eve of day six. The bruising had gone down a lot by then and also the swelling. I was beginning to look semi normal but the blood shot eyes made me look freaky.

My eating was really minimal for days five and six, but I tried to get a lot of water in my system. I can't stress how important it is to get at least some fluids in your system if you are unable to eat like I was.
