On the bright side, one of my antibiotics is
dicloxacillin, which is what
they treat for Lyme Disease, so looks like I'll never have to worry about
getting Lymes -- oh joy! :-/
You would need to step outside of the house into a wooded area and wait for
an infected tick to bite you to get Lyme disease, something few tech geeks
have to worry about. Yes, this is just a joke.
I looked up Bacterial Endocarditis (no idea what it was) and it does not
look like fun. I hope you get over it. Every time I go to the hospital to
visit somebody I wonder if I will snag some kind of untreatable super
bacterial bug that seems to live in hospitals these days. Doctors seem to go
nuts with antibiotics and new drugs are not a huge profit maker so few are
researching them. I would hate to go back to the pre Antibiotic era of the
1950's where common tasks like shaving could give you blood poisoning and
death.
