Yeah, I’m keenly aware of antibiotic stewardship 😣

I wasn’t aware of the new guidelines so fingers crossed that’s the only issue. I’m hoping that I might be able to get a pack each 5 days without a fight…

This isn’t ideal for me either. But unfortunately due to being immunocompromised and having already had a root canal the infection roars right back every time I finish. Starts spreading into my jaw and neck.

I’m just trying to contain it until I can get the extraction so I don’t end up in hospital with sepsis.

You betcha

I’m wondering at what point I can legally be classified as the walking dead

I think attacking people and eating their brains is the legal line, as long as you don't get that far you're just walking wounded.

No promises

But if that's the legal line brains are too scarce here
