Score!

[lydy]

So, the nice doctor agreed that I had been sick for long enough, and that I probably didn't have strep throat. He gave me an antibiotic and Vicodin. Score! The nice man at the pharmacy said that I shouldn't use the Vicodin while driving or at work. Which limits its usefulness somewhat, but otherwise sounds promising. The problem with the antibiotic is that it can't be taken with dairy. Which sounded fine, until I remembered my daily cappuccino. Oh, noes. I must drink regular black coffee! How will I cope.

Meanwhile, I took my first Vicodin an hour ago, and my throat still hurts. Not a lot, but still. So, what gives? I was hoping to be cheerfully and comprehensively out of it by now. Oh, well.

Maybe I will have a popsicle. That's what the nurse suggested for sore throats as a way of pushing fluids. Which I need to do with the antibiotic, supposedly.

Drugs, good. Hope I start feeling better soon, as I am deeply, deeply bored with being sick.

Well, I know what I would do - make my cappuccino with a non-dairy "creamer" product (the liquid kind, not that awful powder). I must confess, I kind of like Cremora French Vanilla. But even if you don't really like it, you might like it better than harsh black coffee.

Popsicle sounds like a good idea. Except that it seems to be unexpectedly AUTUMN out there today! That's not popsicle weather!

Or use soy milk!

And lydy, best wishes for your health!
