Home from the doctor: Still have all my toes (plus cooking, books)

[thistle_chaser]

Long story short: New infection. Doctor had to make new holes in my toe to help drain things. Hurts like heck, but that's fine so long as I don't have to go back to the hospital. It's still MRSA, but it's the "good" (weaker) form of it. On new antibiotic.

In tastier news, I'm going to make this pot roast tomorrow. Looks easy to make, and in my

Glad you still have the toe!
I hope the new antibiotic helps!

[thistle_chaser]

Yes! I like all of my toes and would rather keep them. :P Me too, thanks!

Good luck with the new antibiotic! And hope you feel better soon.

Oh, I didn't realize the books you were talking about were written by someone who was part of the Animorphs authorship. My brother was reading Animorphs when I was in college, and, NGL, I devoured those books (the first 30 or so, maybe?) probably more eagerly than he did, and when I had a friend come stay over one weekend, she got hooked on them, too. They are not masterpieces of speculative fiction or anything, but very readable and enjoyable, and I'm happy that my ten-year-old is getting into them now that they're being reprinted.

Yep! His wife had sole credit, but they worked together on them. Hey, "readable and enjoyable" is nothing to sneeze at! It's all I ask from books.

And thanks!

how do people learn about things like that? I doubt many people say hey, let's pour vinegar on various vegetables for 12 hours and see what happens!

Actually...they do. They're food scientists. :)

Also: it's basic chemistry. Or biology. Take your pick.

Bleh that you have a new infection, but at least it's not a relapse of the old one. Or something. Gosh darn it, Thistle's body, knock this shit off!

[thistle_chaser]

Ha! Okay, I stand corrected. :)

And yeah, at least it's not as bad as the original one. I've had quite enough of this whole thing though!
