Back in the saddle

Sometimes it is good to be back at work.  Of course today it is not only good to be back at work it is good to be sane again.  Cause I was not sane last week.
I took my last dose of the antibiotic Friday night.  I spent most of the weekend recovering from the drugs and side effects.  It was pretty amazing.  I thought for a little while, that I might be permanently damaged from this little episode.  I my heart I knew that wasn’t true, but it felt like it might never end for a bit there.
Three days never felt so long.
I got very little work done last week, so now I am in “Rush, Rush make up for lost time” mode.  Fortunately I can work pretty quickly when I have to, so I am fairly certain I will be able to get everything done in a timely fashion.  I hope.
Needless to say, I’ve been encouraging everyone I know to check into all medications before taking them.  With so many new things on the market, you don’t really know what’s what anymore. 
I will refuse this particular medication in the future.  I’m going to talk to my Doctor about it the next time I see her. 
If I ever go crazy again, I want it to be for a good reason, not just an infection!
