I feel like I'm approaching normal today, although the Cipro is making me a bit spacey. And I've got a few more days of it to finish the prescription cycle**, which means that I've got a couple more nights of wacky dreams where DT's rubbing his spikey hair on my face. Um...not sexual. Like a cat. Yeah, there's just no way to spin that well, is there?

** Why is it that you have to finish off antibiotics anyway?

ETA: Oh, a bit of research is telling me that you need to build up and sustain the drug level in your body for a certain period of time for it to be completely effective and kill everything off.

And now I know. :D

Oh! I know this one! Because even if you're feeling better, the virus may not be all gone and if you quit before it's all gone, you can get an antibiotic-resistant strain later, which would suck.

Also, I'm glad that you're feeling better.

*hugs*

Cause if you don't the infection could come back?

I just looked up some info and yeah! Learn something every day. :D

Thanks. :)

I guess I didn't realize you needed to give something time to kill it off, even if the symptoms are gone.

Yup. Otherwise, you just breed a bunch of stronger bacteria in your body and maybe pass them along, leading to antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections that tend to kill people. Cheers!

EEK!! I'll be finishing them off!

Nope. :) Glad you're feeling better. *smooooch*

Nope. :)

SHAZBOT.

(And IronDog! Your comment reminded me that I haven't read

aj's new IronDog fic yet!)

Glad you're feeling better. *smooooch*

Thanks. *smoooch*

Yup. And you don't want it to come back after you've tried to kill it, cause now you've just pissed it off!

DEFNIITELY don't want that.

I want to wrap you in bubble wrap.

*POP*

*POP POP POP*

Ditto on the antibiotic stuff. Ever heard of MRSA? Not pleasant. And a bitch to treat.

*POP* *POP* *POP* *POP* *POP* *POPPOPPOPPOP*

Sorry, I never can resist bubblewrap...

That sounds horrible!

It can be!
