The musical one is my second oldest. She's thinking seriously about moving to Iceland. We are scattering! Much obliged for the positive energy. At this pace, we need all the energy we can get.

The general public is a lot to blame too for the antibiotic over use. Some people seem to feel short changed if they don't get one whenever they're sick.
People are weird. I had a pt yesterday that I saw thru triage, I did a full assessment, drew labs, ran an IV, had an Ultra sound done, reviewed all the results and sent her home in my 2 hour window I'm supposed to shoot for. She called my director and complained that it didn't take LONG enough?!? Really???

Yes, ma'am! I hear that desert call to me all the time. Helps me stay focused. Eye on the prize! One question. Do scorpions tend to get indoors much? I gotta learn about the local critters and how to deal with them.
When I bought this place, I was already in love with the property before I set foot inside. I didn't care how it looked. With the painting and work we are doing to give a nice impression, we think it'll sell quickly too.
You'll get use to all the critters. I do get scorpions but I live next to a state preserve. My daughter and I have both been stung and it's not the end of the world (unless you're allergic, it's similar to a wasp sting). After 12 yrs here I squash them like they're ants. No big deal. Most areas that have been built up for a while don't get them as often.
Lots of moms I knew would demand antibiotics for their kids. And I know people who shared antibiotics all the time, and didn't take the full dose and all that. Your job dealing with people and their healthcare keeps getting tougher, I'm sure. Now everyone resents healthcare providers, insurance, and all things related. Plus, people seem to get more entitled by the day. Or maybe I'm just getting old and cynical.
No, people are getting more entitled. There's a new law going into effect for reimbursement from insurance companies and it's based on pt satisfaction scores. Which is a great idea, but when you've got drama queens and drug seekers that won't be pleased it presents a lot of obstacles.
Good to know! Thanks. My black cat is a hunter. He will have a blast. We will be in the most southern and westerly part of Vegas. Also near a state preserve. We will deal. Just wanna be informed and ready. So exciting!
You have a lot of reasons for resistant antibiotics. Some jobs push you to go to work when ill. If your kids got sick, some jobs weren't understanding. Then you have the brilliant folks who stop taking their meds, when they feel "better". Sometimes doctors have to make an educated guess, as to what is wrong with you. They will try one antibiotic, then another. I used to get allergies in the spring every year. It would almost always turn into a bad infection. Most antibiotics did not work on me. I finally found one that did work, so they always prescribed that one. Now it may not be on your "preferred drug list", or some thing like that. I have tried 3-4 antibiotics in a row before, trying to get one of those infections knocked out. Now I get less sick with seasonal allergies, but I have it almost year round. (vs. VERY sick for a shorter time) Regardless, if the antibiotic doesn't kill what it was intended to kill, it will develop immunity over time. That is why they cannot depend on the tried and true. They have to keep coming up with new ones. Dogs... Remember Frontline working like a charm, and then it didn't? Those fleas got immunity. Rats also become immune to poison over time. I hope we never get to where these things no longer work. Pre-antibiotic history will show that even things we consider minor now, could turn out really bad for you.
I can relate to that story. I was born with a breast infection. All the draining in the world was of no use. Docs told my Dad to visit his third born because it would be his only and last chance. By the grace of God I'm still here and making everyone's lives miserable. Penicillin saved my life. They pumped me up with it. In 1959, penicillin was in its infancy in terms of widespread use. Had I been born much earlier I would have been a goner. I know penicillin isn't an option for me anymore. Can't say I remember a thing.

So you (and my daughter) may have been Born Under A Bad Sign, but you also did it at the right time. Glad you're still with us.

Morning Army!
I'm glad everyone with us is still with us and glad to hear the meds are working for your daughter, Lori.
Time to start another work day in the flower patch out front of the house to get those last sections done.

Well I found the old show Keeping Up Appearances on Netflix. That show just cracks me up. I haven't seen all of the episodes before. I got to see the first episode just now. That Hyacinth is hilarious and a capital B if ya know what I mean. Still it is funny as all get out, to me.
Evening everyone. Off work early tonight. Three day weekend ahead and I need it. There is beer now and there will be more to follow.
Had to look up what holiday was coming up - have a good "Memorial Day" weekend, Adam and gang!
You too Army Brats!!!
Morning weeding done ahead of the morning sunshine and now the flower beds out front look nice and neat again, pics to follow.....
