In the future when I come to your office complaining
of various symptoms that require you to place me on an antibiotic,
will you please
GIVE ME THE STRONGEST
antibiotic that you have access to?
For example, at the beginning of the year I came down with something.
I have no memory of what it was.
All I know is we went through 3 antibiotics before one finally worked.
And that meant I was sick for over two weeks.
Another example, 3 weeks ago I came down with something
and again, we went through 3 antibiotics before
FINALLY last Thursday
you prescribed a really strong antibiotic and guess what?
I'm feeling better.
That's right, no more coughing all night long.
So in the future when I come to your office,
please just give me the strong stuff first.
I'm tired of having to go through antibiotic after antibiotic after antibiotic
until we find the one that will work.
And no, I do not want another Z-pack ever again!
I thank you, my family thanks you
and I'm sure your office staff thanks you because
they no longer have to talk to me after 3 weeks in a row
calling and complaining how sick I am to them.
And if anyone is wondering,
I am feeling better.
Thank you Lord!

Glad you are finally starting to get some relief Lois. There is some nasty stuff going around that just doesn't go away very fast and it is scary!
I'm so glad you are keeping up with your blogging as it is a good journal of your everyday life, especially during this trying time of the Colonel being off to war.
My d-i-l has been sick and on the 2nd antibiotic. Took her to the dr again this week and he wouldn't even look in her throat ... just said it will take time to get over whatever "it" is. Then they tried to take blood for tests and couldn't get any to come out and said she was dehydrated!
On top of all the other stuff you've been going through, it was the anniversary of your dear father's passing. My dad has been gone 2 years also and so I know how hard this is for you.
Wish I could give you a personal hug, but I'll just say what I used to say to my kids and now to my grandkids: "Jesus bless you and keep you, and give you a good night's sleep!" You are loved!

Glad you are feeling better! I thought the Z-packs were strong antibiotics. Obviously I was thinking wrong. 🙂

Glad you are feeling better and I am not a big fan of the Z pack. I found it took so long for it to work its way thru my system that it was not really that speedy like I thought. I just had a physical this week and I always go in with my note book where I keep a record of what antibiotics work for me. One time my Dr. gave me samples so I would not have to fill a script for the meds. Well the samples had expired a year before and no one in the office had checked for expiration dates so needless to say I was sick even longer. Crazy!

So glad you are better. I use to have the same experience with my boys and ear infection. We had to go thru several antibiotics to get to the strongest. I knew it was the wisest thing to do, but it was frustrating most of the time. Thanks for visiting me!
