No, no, haven't been eaten by wolves. Ulcer is firmly on the path toward recovery as are all other infections. My doctor tried to put me on cipro for the UTI (I'm sorry, am I supposed to put a TMI warning on such mundane facts of life?) but it promptly gave me unilateral tendonitis after one dose. The doctor was all bug-eyed explaining that despite the firm warning associated with that antibiotic, this was the first time she'd actually seen it happen. So now I take one that makes me drowsy but that'll be finished soon. Speaking of antibiotics, it's almost eerie looking in the mirror and seeing clear skin. Downright creepy, even. Nice, too.
Less fun is the paxil. Bleh. I tried taking it in the morning but it suppressed my appetite so much I lost a few pounds due to, y'know, not eating. So I'm taking it at night, which allows me to eat, but rather than making me drowsy, it triggers insomnia. *facepalm* And I could swear I've gotten more jittery on it than I was before. *sigh* I can't take any of the SnRIs due to seizure risk and... oh, pooh.
And when it comes to insomnia, which is obviously anxiety related, my insurance was, for once, FAIL. I can't take ambien without memory problems. I can lunesta just fine (and it's fabo), but it won't cover that unless nothing else works. There is something else, a hypnotic sedative, which has been sitting uselessly on the counter because I refuse to take something that addictive. *eyeroll*
Ho hum.
Over at work, our routes were all adjusted. So now my route is six hours on the street. Can't say I'm thrilled. Yesterday, the World's Stupidest TE neglected to deliver Saturday's mail to either school. How he remained completely oblivious to the two giant tubs of mail.... He didn't even look. While I was on vacation, he also misdelivered hold mail, switching addresses on different streets. One neighbor collected a batch, caught me when I came back and handed it off. It wasn't even due for delivery for a week! I explained to her that my sub was the village idiot and she cut me off with a hiss of disgust, "Oh, that man!"
But at least we went camping this weekend.
