Glennalicious: Numbered lists of things I don't like about being sick

Numbered lists of things I don't like about being sick

7. Fevers make me dizzy, hot, and well, feverish. Drinking water in the middle of the night to relieve my parched throat makes sense. Falling asleep while still holding the glass does NOT make sense. Spilling the water all over myself, the bed, and Derrick makes sense, but only in a senseless way. The loud bout of cursing afterwards made perfect sense.

6. Fevers make me dizzy and make me forget about leaving the microwave door open, then I walk into it. Now I have a two inch gash on my head.

5. The snorkeling sounds I make at any given time, but especially as I'm just going to sleep. (Probably Derrick's favorite one too)

4. Derrick gets to drink ALL the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout because of the no alcohol rule.

3. The no alcohol rule.

2. The fact that I'm not able to go down to DC. The fact that I didn't get to go anywhere.

1. I'm getting really tired of Charmed and Law & Order marathons.

On the plus side, I went to the cute doctor at Callen Lorde today, and he prescribed me a new antibiotic called Cefuroxime Axetil (ten day treatment). He was a bit alarmed that the Z-pac antibiotics didn't work. I was a bit alarmed, as everyone knows that Cefuroxime Axetil was the Aztec god of beer. When I looked up the specifics, apparently this Aztec god requires the sacrifice of all shirts of any hot men near me for the next ten days.

You know me. I'm all about respecting the gods.

Weird, I thought I submitted a comment yesterday, but it's a no-show.

I really hope this one breaks your fever.

I mean, it IS possible to have a viral infection, and then antibiotics don't work - there's no way around it then just letting it pass. However, if the fever continues too long (how long has it been?) push on your doc, cause you might be getting dehydrated on top of everything else.

Get better!

How Roman of you.

As everyone well knows, I'll take my clothes off at the drop of the hat (literally).

Get well soon!

I've been sick since October I think.
Hope you're feeling better.

Aw, ducky, still not feeling well? Plenty of rest, plenty of fluids, (if there are no ... uh ... poop issues) plenty of fruit.

Hang in there. Much like that quarter you accidentally swallowed, this too shall pass.

I'm sorry you're sick. I'm alarmed about the antibiotics, too, because it means people out there aren't finishing THEIR antibiotics and are releasing into the soup germs that are resistant to the antibiotics I'm willing to take! Also sorry about the beer. I'm super into Aztec gods, though, I mean, who isn't?!

Ugh, Brooklyn Chocolate is VILE. At the Mediabistro thingy last week, it was all they had. Retch.

Hmm, I looked up you so-called Aztec God and found

http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/cefurox_ids.htm

and under the list of indications:

7. Uncomplicated Gonorrhea, Urethral and Endocervical: Caused by penicillinase-producing and non-penicillinase¾producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and uncomplicated gonorrhea, rectal, in females, caused by non-penicillinase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Anything you'd like to tell us, G dear? Hmmm?

How could you ever be sick of Charmed marathons!! Leo is hot and the witches are cool. :-)

Hope you're feeling better by now.
