The effects of medication on a few of my favorite things

[Nick]

Sad indeed.

I just got put on a medication. Now, that wouldn't bother me, because after all, it's for my own good. But it's so expensive, I'm going to have to put on hold that Stillwater kilt I was going to get after the New Year for a long while, at least (the meds will last twelve weeks).

The second effect is that I have to severely curtail how much I drink during that time. I don't drink that much anyway, but do on occassion. On this stuff I can have a drink every now and then with no problem. But I got a bottle of Johnnie Walker black label for Christmas, and I like a wee dram before bed. But I guess that bottle is going to last a whole lot longer than it would have otherwise.

Sorry, but I needed to vent a little.

Nick,

Sorry to read about the need for meds. Hopefully, they'll have their full effect on you in a short time, and you'll feel much better through the balance of the course of time you're having to take them. I can empathize about the cost of medical care, after all I've been through in the past 18 months. I wish you the best of health, upcoming in the New Year.

Blessings,
Mac

Nick,

Feel free to vent if you need to, because we are all here for you.

12 weeks will go by faster than you think, so all good things come to those who are patient enough to endure.

Hope that all goes well for you.

Get healthy. Stillwater Kilts and Johnnie Walker will still be available when you're better.

Get healthy. Stillwater Kilts and Johhnie Walker will still be available when you're better.

I second that!

No fun, Nick; but a lot can change in 12 weeks (uh, other than Johnny Walker & SW ), so you can look forward to better health & maybe even better weather. (I will be spring in Texas by then, but since you're in Michigan, I can't promise you that.)

Thanks for the kind words all

It's been a humdinger of a week. Started out with this mess with meds, and today I slipped on the ice and cracked my head. Someone stopped and helped me up, then gave me a ride to work (where I was heading). Passed an ambulance on the way, turned out someone thought I got hit by a car and called it in. My boss called Public Safety because we thought the rig might be looking for me, they caught the radio chatter and came to the bookstore. So they looked me over, I ended up in the ER, and am now sitting at home. I've got to be under observation for at least 24 hours. The doctor thought it was a good bump on the head but nothing serious, but there has to be someone here in case anything develops.

So yeah. Next week will be better.

*sigh*

Nick, sorry to hear about your rough week! The Scottish Ale is carbonated and waiting for you to sample when you're not medicationally limited.

Which bookstore do you work at?
