It’s Monday??

My weekend has gone. Poof. Bye bye. Friday was blown away by the fact that I was just in bed most of the day except going to the doctor and refill my prescription, and going out to dinner. Must say that at a certain point, Cipro just completely owned me. A few more days of it left. Brandon and I could barely wait to touch each other again. LOL. Also must say that there is no, I repeat, there is no good Thai food in the city of Los Alamitos. Saturday. Went to see “Ultraviolet”. It’s not an Oscar worthy...

Hm…cheese

Cheese bagel that has been sitting next to an onion bagel all morning, toasted and topped with a thick layer of cream cheese. THAT is a slice of heaven. Especially when you’ve been up since 5:30 a.m. to get to the INS by 7:45 via my usual train commute plus a tram ride. Thank god the wait at the INS wasn’t that painful this time. But yeah. Crispy baked cheese + creamy goodness = Yummmmmmm Also, the bagel is especially good when you KNOW you’re not going throw it up. Cipro may make me feel queasy but at least I...

It’s not acid-filled, stomach churn like last week. This one it churns because I’m dizzy. I wonder if I could take Bonine, my wonder anti-motion sickness pill, to counter this. Time to call my doctor! *UPDATE* Pseudomonas Dermatitis. aka....

I’ve got what?

I’ve been prescribed Cipro. Folks. I have anthrax. Just kidding. My doctor ran a culture and found that what I have is not staph, but some other bacteria that is supposedly more resistant to the other 2 antibiotics I’ve been on this past week. Although, I seem to have healed well so far, she wants to make sure the damn thing is dead. And such a great patient I am, when she left me a message and told me what the bug was, I wrote it down on a Post-it with some other things on it. And later, I tossed...

Staph-a-licious

Funny how LA Times had the whole article about staph infection on Sunday. So now you can read on what I had. LA Times: Infection Is Growing in Scope, Resistance Yes. HAD. I’m done with it. Everything minimizes into flatten, dark spots. Starting to wonder if they’d stay there as scars though....
