I would say that I look largely restored. My face is pretty much the way I remember before i went so ill and things got very puffy from the staphylococci in my blood and the following antibiotics treatment. The only things that is a bit "off" is, that i noticed when i took the antibiotics my urine changed, from dark / brown to very pale. The latter is weird, because i know that when I eat, it tends to to have a more pronounced (natural) yellow color.

But it never gets like that after I have eaten. Not even when i wake up and go to the bathroom. Same pale color - which it almost never does. Somehow i know by instinct that the Flukloxacillin antibiotics are responsible for fiddling with the kidneys. At the same time it is the most effective treatment against staphylococci skin infections. Nevertheless - I am keeping a very careful eye on that...

(Actually things suddenly resolved. In the late evening - everything was in order).

Almost normal skin again

The skin around my eye is almost normal. Not quiet, but largely. Same goes for the other eye which never went red, but got puffy liquid bags. It is almost gone.

Just wow.

Seem to have healed other ear issues, too

Another thing I have noticed is, that the issue i had with my ears (itching, a kind of otitis, leaking fluids sometimes) - also seem to vanished !!! That has been a major issue in my life for at least 3 years. Sometimes I could barely even hear so severe the conditions been. And there was almost moist-fluids in there, making life more complicated than not. It seems to have gone, and the itching, flaking and leaking.... well, it is all silent and calm.

What a relief, you have no idea.

Naturally, I will not poke in or around my ears. Especially not at work where we always have dirty hands.

How intriguing human body is

I find that fascinating, because somehow it restored me to my former look, shape and function. I mean not long time ago, my face looked like an alien war zone... and now... Ralf is back again.

How strange isn't that ?

Autumn progress in Stockholm

Autumn has Stockholm in its grip, as well most parts of Europe, except the south. The temperatures are relatively mild with 12-13°C for the time being - but the look of nature is totally, or typically autumn. With all the leafs and colors. While more and more leafs are falling down now. Sal looked a bit surprised when he stepped onto the balcony this morning - after been gone to Sicily for a week.

The change became suddenly much more obvious to him.
