If I could just indulge in one paragraph's worth of whining....
It's been two years exactly since my last sinus infection; I know the date well because it followed our first trip to DC. I blamed it then on the bus ride back to Elkhart, and, I gotta say, I'm inclined to do so again. Last year I didn't ride the bus home, and, guess what -- no infection. But it turns out this year I was fighting another infection as well. See I got this insect bite a couple weeks ago. No big deal -- spider, mosquito, whatever. Yes, I noticed that it wasn't going away and was in fact swelling and turning purple and filled with pus, but by this time we were running around like chickens with our heads cut off in DC, so I didn't really think about it. Besides, I'm a guy. What kind of guy goes to the doctor for a stupid little bug bite? I'll tell you what kind of guy: the smart ones. And if I'd have mentioned it to my doc earlier in the week I'd have been getting better faster. Turns out infected bug bites need a different antibiotic than sinus infections. Who knew?
Anyway, I started the second RX yesterday and hope to work on getting the blog wrapped up later today and tomorrow. The kids took some neat photos that I'm looking forward to sharing. So check back in a couple days for final posts.
