Fuzzy Logic

As you can see I have not been on-line for a while and have fallen behind on my writing. I haven't exactly started my new life either. A bout with a particularly nasty bacteria requiring an incision and potent antibiotics and pain killers has left me struggling to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes at a time. I managed to literally plow my way through a couple of easy books, but that's all. Yesterday was the first day I didn't sleep most of the afternoon away.
I really can't complain much. I received very good emergency health care from some wonderful people who helped me to relax and get through some painful experiences. Being sick while away from home brings it's own concerns but I must say everything went very well and they even handled my insurance company.
It is interesting how bad an antibiotic can make you feel. There is of course the upset stomach, but also tiredness and a foggy brain. I'm not sure how much of that is from the infection and how much from the drugs.
I do not have experience with recreational drugs. I am too afraid of losing control. I do have experience with prescription drugs for depression. I can't recommend any of them. They all seem to make me sleepy. I always tell the doctor ," I can be lazy all on my own, what I need is something to get me going". I have a feeling I would love uppers, but so far have not tried them other than being a coffee freak, and an adrenalin junkie. I always wait til the last minute and then the pressure of a deadline usually gets me going.
So here's to good health and clear thinking, may you have it and enjoy it.
