and so does the comedy of errors regarding my antibiotics. I deeply regret having to make a second post on this subject but it was either that or leave my readers in the dark about why I wasn’t posting today.<\/p>\n

Early\u00a0yesterday morning I awakened in even more pain and exhibiting some truly\u00a0scary additional\u00a0symptoms so yes, I spent another entire morning in the ER (on what\u00a0was most likely the only day all week we’ll have good morning\u00a0light for bird photography). My new diagnosis is that\u00a0the epididymitis has spread so now I have orchitis<\/a> as well. Obviously my antibiotics weren’t working. Readers will remember that the first prescription I filled was for an antibiotic that was contraindicated for anyone with peripheral neuropathy (which I have)\u00a0so I was given a\u00a0second prescription for a different antibiotic.<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u00a0morning my\u00a0ER doc called my urologist who told him the second antibiotic was “the wrong one for the condition” so now I’m on a third\u00a0antibiotic (yes, I’ll be disposing of\u00a0a lot of expensive pills). And of course the new one hasn’t kicked in yet and that may take some time\u00a0so life isn’t a lot of fun right now.<\/p>\n

To complicate matters even further I have a very important and complicated task that must be completed under a fast-approaching\u00a0deadline\u00a0so even if I felt up to it I probably wouldn’t be able to publish a post with images this morning.<\/p>\n

Please don’t feel any obligation to comment today unless you really want to. I’m embarrassed to have to post on this unpleasant subject again and I already know how supportive my readers are from your comments on my previous post.<\/p>\n

But I will say this.\u00a0I sure wish someone\u00a0would pave this damned road. I’m sick to death of all the bumps.<\/p>\n

Ok, at the last minute I couldn’t resist including an image (I already had this one processed so it didn’t take any extra time). I see this photo as relevant to the subject at hand because no\u00a0creature\u00a0I know of is…<\/em><\/p>\n

I realize\u00a0that’s a reach but I hate publishing posts without at least one photo…<\/em><\/p>\n
