Went to the doctor.

He said I have facial cellulitis, which he thinks might be from a tooth abcess, because I am experiencing a wee bit of tooth pain and swelling on one side.

I forgot entirely to tell him about my eye troubles, and I think it's the leftover eye infection making itself known.

He prescribed amoxicillin, 500mg, 3 times a day.

I thought nothing of it until a friend gasped and told me that it was overkill, that for his recent bout of pneumonia he took 200mg twice a day.

Anyone else think it's too much? Now I'm all paranoid.

ETA: Okay, sounds like the right prescription, no problem here.

Usually I wait until the very last minute to go into a doctor...but after the whole December fiasco, where I was out for ten days because I waited so long, I thought, what the hell, go now.

I'm very glad that I did!

Hi to you too! Glad to see you! And I am most definitely going to Lumos. I'm working on things for the trip.

Are you going? For some reason I thought you weren't, but now I can't remember.

Yup, I'll be there! We must be sure to find one another at some point.

OH MY GOODNESS, you're going?! w00t!!

That is so awesome! Somehow I thought you weren't. My brain really messes with me sometimes.

You do have lodging, right? Because [livejournal.com profile] pen_and_umbra turned out to have other things going on, and she isn't coming. So if you need somewhere to stay Thurs-Sat, let me know.

I think I am okay - I am going with [livejournal.com profile] ebonlock's crew. But thank you for the offer!
