Adjusting to the Life
|
On my deathbed??
At least that's how I've been feeling. I'm sick for the third time in 2 months. Finally decided to go to the Dr. Bronchitis....Prescribed me a 750mg antibiotic...took pill around 3:00...after a few hours I started feeling a bit weird. By 9:00 %*^$ hit the fan! I started getting disoriented, cold sweats, my hands and feet went completely numb. Obviously an allergic reaction to the meds. Called the emergency # for my Dr. No one called back, good thing that worked. Remembered my Uncle is a Pharmacist, I got a hold of him....he hates the medicine they put me on, has a lot of problems w/ it. He told me to drink lots of water and flush it out. By around 2:00am this morning I woke up covered in sweat, the sheets were soaked...that makes falling back asleep fun. Then after drinking so much water I proceeded piss every hour or so till my wife woke up at 5:00. I got up started getting ready for work, wife calls and MAKES me stay home. She's so smart! So today I've been lounging, got some new meds, sucks because now I've had to pay for both prescriptions, BLAH. Then the wife comes home, (we're watching her parents dog) a wild one he is, she opens the door to let our dogs out, BOOM, he bolts out the door. GONE! He's the fastest dog I've seen in my life. Now it's in the teens here in Cincy, snow all over the ground, and a dog that has no idea where he is running all over god knows where. I put on my coat (meanwhile still sick as hell) and begin on a journey. After about 20 minutes I see him a block or so away, just when I think I've cornered him....runs right by me. He's 2 block running down the middle of the street in rush hour traffic. My wife passed me in the car looking for him....after walking for 45 minutes I give up, and am hacking up a lung. About 15 minutes later she comes home.....DOG IN CAR. Seems she saw him, got out ran after him for a while, lost him. Got back in the car drove around, saw him again....he ran right up to the car, she opens the door and he jumps right in. I NEED A DRINK AND A CIGAR....no go with antibiotics and bronchitis.
