Cipro – one way or another

Putting the weekend of Sulfa vomiting and “things swimming before my eyes” behind me, I have, as of 20 minutes ago, begun a five day course of Cipro. They write the side effects in tiny print; I read them and am actually paying attention to all the precautions cited. Things like, oh, taking it with food and lots of fluids and stay away from calcium supplements . . .
Five days; I can do this.

The ironic thing is when I had C. Dif. and had to take a medicine that most people have to suffer through, I felt great. Hopping across the kitchen great. Not that I want to do it again. On the other hand, when I had to take a sliding scale of Tums after my parathyroid surgery, I found out they were delicious and really didn’t want to cut down. So, it just goes to show you, it’s either this way or that . . .

I also have a stuffy nose, as does Summmer, but I do NOT have one of the “really worse cases of post-traumatic arthritis” that Robert was diagnosed with yesterday. He first broke that ankle when Summer was in grade school!

And, speaking of Summer and school, she asked me to proofread an essay she had written about the importance of leadership. She writes better than I do, BUT she wrote that it is necessary to be able to assess the qualities of leadership in order for the people to elect a good president. Of course, I had to say she needed to add an an aside: BUT THEY DID A SUCKY JOB OF IT!

Which reminds me: Pottermom told me Joe Biden is making Presidential hints in Iowa. I think the slogan writing should start now.

DON’T ABIDE WITH BIDEN!!!!
