    Better Days

    By Andrea Menzies

    All the heaven saints made antibiotics, and after taking them I am much better. Thanks to all the people who wished for me to “get well soon” when I was sick. As a substitute teacher I work at the desks of the sickest teachers in the district, and this leaves me constantly extra sick. This is just one of the reasons I am going to night school online to NOT be a substitute teacher anymore. I have a million plans for summer, but being trapped in bed was not one of them.

  • Super Sick

    By Andrea Menzies

    So sick with bronchitis. I finally got a doctor’s prescription for antibiotics as the first doctor refused to prescribe them leaving me in agony days longer. So many doctors are afraid to over prescribe antibiotics they now don’t even properly prescribe antibiotics without a battle. My podcast usually starts up again in summer reviewing books, but I am too sick to even read right now. It will be on hiatus longer.

  • Bad Cold 2

    Bad Cold 2

    I had to go to the emergency room I was so sick this week. This time it was not COVID even though I had COVID19 a month ago the emergency room verified. I am thinking of filing a complaint as the person sticking me for blood tests did such a bad job there were pools of blood everywhere. They did a hand sick for no reason, and kept the needle in hours longer than needed then would not give me antibiotics I requested. Doctors so fear over use of antibiotics they don’t even respect appropriate use anymore. At least they did give me the medicine I needed by the end. I know they were crowded and understaffed, but that was strange.

    Bad Day

    I got COVID last week, and doctors verified it in the St Francis Emergency room today. I got super sick last week after biking a week ago, and it got worse instead of better. At first I thought it was really bad allergies, but it was not. COVID may not be in the news anymore, but it is still out there.
