The effects of medication on a few of my favorite things

Get healthy. Stillwater Kilts and Johhnie Walker will still be available when you're better.

I second that!

No fun, Nick; but a lot can change in 12 weeks (uh, other than Johnny Walker & SW

), so you can look forward to better health & maybe even better weather. (I will be spring in Texas by then, but since you're in Michigan, I can't promise you that.)

Thanks for the kind words all

It's been a humdinger of a week. Started out with this mess with meds, and today I slipped on the ice and cracked my head. Someone stopped and helped me up, then gave me a ride to work (where I was heading). Passed an ambulance on the way, turned out someone thought I got hit by a car and called it in. My boss called Public Safety because we thought the rig might be looking for me, they caught the radio chatter and came to the bookstore. So they looked me over, I ended up in the ER, and am now sitting at home. I've got to be under observation for at least 24 hours. The doctor thought it was a good bump on the head but nothing serious, but there has to be someone here in case anything develops.

So yeah. Next week will be better.

*sigh*

Nick, sorry to hear about your rough week! The Scottish Ale is carbonated and waiting for you to sample when you're not medicationally limited.

Which bookstore do you work at?

Nick,

Do please take care of yourself.

Nick, I think I have missed something here (but I've missed quite a few threads and posts in the past couple of weeks).

I am sorry to hear about your need for being prescribed expensive medication, and can sympathise to a certain extent. Two weeks ago I was also put on pain-killing and anti-inflamatory tablets which means that I too have been obliged to refrain from alcohol all through the Christmas period and also forward into mid-January.

Fortunately for me, because I am over 60 the medication comes 'free' courtesy of our National Health Service - not that it's really free; I've been paying for this through personal taxation throughout my working life!

I wish you a speedy recovery and send all Good Wishes from this side of the pond for 2006.
