Whiny Friday Open Thread

Sorry for the silence this morning, but I have a good excuse.  I got cellulitis, which is, at first glance, merely painful.  The problem is that, if it doesn’t go away spontaneously, as the Mayo Clinic warns, “the spreading infection may rapidly turn life-threatening.”  I knew that, since I’ve known people who have had it (including one gal who ended up having her foot amputated), so, when my leg started looking nasty, I hied myself off to the doctor.

I’m now on Septra, which does not make me a happy camper.  Aside from giving my a general feeling of malaise, it makes me itch all over.  I’ll start worrying if I get hives, which I’ve done with other antibiotics, but right now I’m just gritting my teeth.  The Septra, after all, is doing precisely what it’s supposed to do, which is making my infection subside.

Given all this, I’m not processing information very well today, nor am I able to tap into any deep veins of inspiration.  Everything in my life is just moving by in a slightly queasy cloud.

I will write later, though, I almost absolutely certainly promise.

Until then, have fun here or elsewhere.
