Bummer about the anitbiotics not doing anything. I had some left over from my poison ivy this summer and took one tonight.

It sure sounds like you're feeling lousy I hope you get better!! Is Fenway being a good nurse?
Fenway is being a good nurse and so isn't my kitty Maxie. My other kitty, Cosmo, is being a brat & meowing for attention all of the time. He's meowing right now as I type this. Doesn't he realize I'm sick?
