I started strong this morning, lots of e-mail interaction with the lab and even a few hundred words on a blog post, but then had another setback.
Hence I offer you a photographic (iPhone cam) composition entitled, "Still Life."
I am too young to feel this old.
(Special note to PalMD: No vomiting from the new clarithromycin but, damn, my pee smells funny.)

Sure, the field days sound exciting and magical, don't they? So, of course, it's hard not to want to paint the picture that that is what it's like to be a marine biologist. But I don't get to do that kind of work often. Here's an average day in my life, a work day, is like:

I don’t know if other bloggers out there have experienced anything like this, but I’ve experienced this a few times since starting this blog. Last night I started writing about an article that—or so I thought— was the perfect distillation of the message of the NCCIH and its desire to co-opt…
PalMD has a nice post up at denialism blog reviewing a recent NYT article on a foundation run by DKNY's Donna Karan donating $850,000 USD to Beth Israel Medical Center to study the combination of Eastern and Western healing methods. PalMD has the details but he then gets into an area about which I…
Miracles Do Still Happen.
It all began with the Incident of the Broken Leg.
No, not mine, and No, it was not That Sort of Miracle.
The problem was that I was now the family taxi driver. Doc visits, school, doc visits, pre-school, doc visits, playdates doc visits, grocery shopping, doc visits...

I knew it. You're under the influence of "big guitar."
Ha! Good eye! I just couldn't find any John Pearse strings in the house.
Just wait till you get the orange pee :p
I have pneomonia also. I'm squinting to read the labels on the things on the nightstand. Yesterday I finished five days of 750 mg per day Levaquin. As a test I stopped the benzonatate 3 times a day and Mucinex DM today. Don't have the hacking cough that needs to be suppressed to conserve energy - yeah!
The Levaquin gave me a strange taste in my mouth and I could smell it in my urine the first few days.
Tough thing is deciding when to go back to work. I won't know how much strength I do or don't have until I try. I'll probably go back Friday and if I'm exhausted by lunch will leave then.
This is my 2nd pneumonia in 2 years and I think I could write a book for patients on how to handle it. The first time I was in the hospital and they gave me nothing for my cough (unless you count the darvocet and dilaudid I was given for chest and back pain)! So I was exhausted by the hacking cough.
Don't you love that extended release Mucinex? I don't care that it costs more than the generic, only having to swallow that big pill twice a day is worth it.
