Got home OK last night. Went to doctor’s today to get some oral antibiotics. The docs at Aspen thought an antibiotic cream applied to the sore would work. No way. Unfortunately, since tomorrow is a holiday, wound clinic will be closed so I won’t get to see the people who really know what’s going on until Tuesday. In the meantime I am on Clindamycin. For the first time, I had a doctor warn me that a hardcore antibiotic could cause diarrhea. I already knew. I bought a probiotic with my prescription. More later.

    • One of the most epic chokes I have ever seen. Talk about grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. Why did that DB slide after the interception instead of trying to pick up some extra yardage?

  1. Had some fairly powerful mycins and cillins and pain killers at various times for injuries and after surgeries. Used maybe 3 or 4 of the pain killers each time and tossed the rest into the commode.

    Too the antibiotics, tho. Never had diarrhea. Worst that I can recall was some mild stomach cramps and some gawdawful gas. I produced enough of that stuff to operate a gas-turbine destroyer escort for a coupla days after my bilateral hernia surgery and some oral surgery soon afterwards.

    Remember the dentist and his nurse lookin down in my mouth . . . and Doc says, “Wow! Would you look at that. Didn’t see THAT on the X-ray. Who would’ve expected that much pus.”

    That, along with “Whoops!” is somethin you really don’t like to hear while you’re on your back in a chair with 4 hands and various instruments in your mouth.

    Gotta give the guy credit, tho. He and his redheaded country-girl nurse fixed me up. Got rid of all the infection, injected some synthetic bone supplement in strategic areas, removed one wandering second molar, and charged me under $3600 for the entire job, including before and after X-rays and one follow-up.

    He talks like an Okie from Muskogee, but he knows what he’s doin. Got tiny little girly hands, but they’re talented. Apparently does a big business in implants and jawbone repair.

  2. Hope you’ll be well soon. Does it hurt when you sit down? If not, you could practice your Bach Prelude and the Promenade. Music helps a lot when things are lousy.

    • It doesn’t hurt when I sit, which is one of the reasons I got it in the first place, but I do have to stay off of it as much as possible for it to heal. Alas, that means very little practice of the Prelude.

  3. Denny,

    Dr. Toejam says forget the probiotics.

    I prescribe lots of female pubic hair, but check it carefully for stray labia studs before you spoon it into a huge cup of cocoa.

    When it gets down to the lower digestive tract it binds with the liquid crap and then forms into numerous Rubik Cube sized turds.

    Unfortunately, you’ll need to buy a large case of Preparation H.

  4. Sorry my friend for your problems, I have had mine for sure but hate to see anyone who I consider a friend under the weather…keep the faith!

  5. Come on, buddy, you’ll be okay. Anybody who can survive 4 years of the Navy and 6 years (so far) of Obummer will get through this with only 4-5 tolls of TP.
