Pill number two

So I take my antibiotic morning and evening.
On an empty stomach.
With a full 8 ounces of water.
Never with dairy.
An hour before eating.
It makes my stomach feel somewhat gross, but it is important.
The reason they prefer you to have a full cup of water with most all of your meds is that the pills need the fluid in order to do their jobs.
Tomorrow I will work at summer school. Plus, I am the driver.
Four days a week, three hours per day, plus transportation. For three weeks.
Tomorrow Bob will not have a treatment. I think they may be short staffed. Of course that could change. If so they will text me. They change his times all the time.
The urology appointment he had was basically to talk about how he is doing and to make a plan for when the treatments are over.
We keep having storms move through in the early morning, and they contribute to the headaches I get.
Pastor served us lunch today. Hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, potato salad, cup cakes, etc. Nice day.
Bob was very full and so was I. Not much to post today. We shall see about tomorrow.

It was a good day. Once a month Pastor Jeanne and her husband prepare enough food for however many people happen to show up, and stay. Between twenty and thirty. We get to visit with a variety of people and relax.

Water is important with any of your medicines. I hope the antibiotics are working hard.

It is strange. We are not really getting much water with it, just the sound, and the pressure. I slept until my alarm went off. Headache started after I got up. It has gotten progressively worse, now it is easing up. Time for that second pill, again.

Especially when I do not have to cook it, or clean up afterwards.

You know, they keep taking blood, it is a wonder everyone does not go anemic.

@GardenGerty You're so right. They were always taking blood from Vince when he was in hospital. His next one now will be on Friday.
