Goods and Bads

Bad: Area of itchy red slightly hurty area increased again since last night.

Good: I have a doctor's appt to get it looked at this afternoon.

Bad: This makes today really complicated, workwise.

Good: I got confirmation that Other Professor and Person Making Hiring Decision really do want to hire me!!!  More on this later when I have time to post about it, prolly tonight.

Oh joy.

Clindamycin is well known for inducing Clostridium difficile infections. 

Guess what one of my antibiotics is?  Guess what lovely new symptom I've developed?

(My doctor, by the way, is not particularly concerned about the red swelling.  He *was* concerned about the antibiotics: the clindamycin for the reason stated above, and the sulfa because according to a handy little book, cat bite infections tend to be resistant to it.  I have been given instructions to switch to doxycyclene.  If my, um, current symptoms persist through the night, the doctor is getting a call in the morning to say "Guess what?")

Yogurt and GatorAde consumption commencing... sigh....

On another note, Huz has downloaded Assassin's Creed 2.  It's very pretty.
