A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Went camping this weekend at a campground on the lake, had not been there for a few years. Once there I began to walk around looking at the different sites when I noticed a very old dog. He just lay t...

Good Morning FOOFs
I am finally starting to feel like a human again. I have been fighting a sinus infection for a little over 3 weeks now. After a week of suffering, I went to my Dr. and he gave me some steroids for the sinus pain and 14 days of antibiotics. The steroids took care of the sinus pain in a couple of days but I still had a very sore throat and was blowing yellow out my nose. Another week went by and I felt no better. On top of feeling lousy, the antibiotic he gave me tore up my stomach. I couldn't stay out of the bathroom.
I called the Dr back and told the nurse that I couldn't take the antibiotics anymore because of my stomach and asked if the Dr could give me a different one. I mentioned that a Zpack had helped me in the past when I was sick. She called back and said the Dr advised going to an ENT and wouldn't give me another antibiotic! I was really ticked off that he wouldn't call me in a different antibiotic. So, I started taking the old antibiotic again and worked from home last week because I couldn't stay out of the bathroom.
Another week went by and now my body is just really fatigued on top of a very sore throat. The antibiotic wasn't working. My wife told me that some people at her work had used TeleDoc online. I got online with Teledoc and setup an appointment for them to call me. They called in less than 5 minutes! I explained my symptoms and mentioned the Zpack had helped me in the past when I got a sinus infection. They called me in a prescription for a Zpack and about an hour later the local pharmacy had it for me. I have been on the Zpack for 2 days and am feeling much better. It might be time to get another Dr. The Teledoc option would be great for people who are traveling and can't see their normal Dr if they get sick. I was really impressed with them.
On top of me being sick, both my male dogs (Monty and Pinto) have really bad diarrhea. They have been sick since Saturday. I have confined them to one room (thank god for tile floors) but all I do is clean up poop. I spoke to the vet and told him I didn't want to bring them in because they would trash my truck with poop! He gave us some meds that we started them on yesterday afternoon so I am hoping this gets them well.
It's really been a fun couple of weeks around my house!
