Slow pace of blogging here continues.  I’m pretty sick, but I’ll live. 
A few interesting complications.  Nothing to worry about, I think. 
Should be fine in a few more days.  No worries.

The doc is now taking a commando approach.  5 different medications.  I
just started them a few minutes ago.  Out of curiosity, and with the
caveat that these are all rare, I thought I’d list all the possible
side effects I’m about to find out if I’ll have, just for fun:

I’m amused to imagine the Constipation and Diarrhea might cancel each
other, as will the Drowsiness and Excitement.  Unfortunately, there’s
no Looseness of Chest, Super-Clear Vision, or Extra-Regular Heartbeat
on the list.

(Why are side effects never beneficial?  It only seems
fair.  I want superpowers, dammit.)

By this time next week, I will either be completely fine, I will be quite dead, or I will look like Nosferatu on crystal meth.

With three layers of hives.

This is the title of C.S. Lewis’ most boring Narnia sequel.

It’s also my week ahead.  Blogging will be light.

I’ve got a pretty vile case of the flu (no worries; I’ll be fine soon enough) and so the doc put me on this year’s most fashionable drug.

Can’t tell if it’s doing anything, of course, since there’s no way to compare what I’d be feeling if I wasn’t on it.  But so far, I can’t say I’m terribly impressed.

(Brief pause while I cough up three dull razor blades.)

Still, for the next few days at least:

Sick Asian birds… come and get me.

I know Holden started getting ponies when Bush’s numbers fell under 40.

But the first time Bush falls under 30, I’m suggesting pudus for everyone.
