\nYesterday: the spring term started at Ingrid’s dance-and-play group.\n<\/p>\n
\nThis morning I went to the clinic (vårdcentral<\/i>) in the morning to have someone look at my nose. Turns out that the sore nose, or rather the sore in my nose, was caused by a staph infection, not herpes (cold sores). I’m used to getting cold sores when I have a cold, so I had assumed this was one of them. But after 5 days I thought it wasn’t behaving quite “right”. So now I got a prescription for fucidin cream, and care instructions which are pretty much the opposite to what’s advised for cold sores. (Cold sores: don’t touch, don’t pick; my staph sore: try to get rid of the scab.)\n<\/p>\n
\nThen a trip to town for a blood test, to check my thyroid function. The local clinic does those as well but apparently they’re not connected to the right IT systems. In order for the results to reach my gynecologist, I need to go to another place. I normally go to the clinic at Odenplan, because it’s closest to where I work, so to make things simple I did the same today. I’m always impressed by how good they are at what they do. They never complain about my veins, which the phlebotomists at Royal London Hospital usually did. Very skilled, very fast.\n<\/p>\n
