* As I finally turned in a specimen, I was able to start anti-biotics monday and that is really helping. I turned up just in time for today's medical thing, then waited in the pharmacy for back-up antibiotics. (I generally need two z-pacs and we were afraid I'd end up with week long gaps if I have to wait all weekend without meds and hope for an early Monday call back. I put them on a shelf and will only take them if I need them). They had three chairs in the pharmacy and it was only 20 minutes or so instead of making me do 45 minutes while able bodied people hogged chairs like on Monday.

I need to remind everyone that the intensive medical stuff starts Wednesday afternoon, and it's possible I'll be too ill/recovering until Fridayish. This will likely have big effects on posting.
