Sick

I've been sick this week.

Bladder infection.

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

To complicate matters, treating infections with me is quite an ordeal. There's so much that so many take for granted. You have a bladder infection. You go see your doctor. He gives you a prescription for some pills. You take the pills. In short order you feel better.

Not so in my little world.

No way. I have to be lots more complicated.

I am allergic to a couple of antibiotics. Correction: I was allergic to two. That was before a very kind, sympathetic doctor prescribed me cipro. Unfortunately, the drug made me break out in a rash.

Soooo... I called the doctor and he told to me quit taking the drugs. Which it wasn't like I was real eager to continue taking the stupid things.

As a result I have fought out the infection with lots of cranberry juice and water. I did spend one whole days resting, as well.

While I don't feel fabulous I do feel a smidge closer to normal.

Ha! Whatever normal is...

I know how you feel. I've had a few sicknesses that put me out cold for a while and it comes with that kind of pain you don't wish on anyone. I'm praying that you'll get better soon.
