~Side Effects~

Did you know that some medication will make you stop

up tighter than a drum? I'm taking a narcotic for pain. I

was told it could cause constipation.. Ive NEVER had

that problem.. but NOW.. well I had to send Penny to

the drug store to get something for me. This is an awful

feeling and I don't like it at all.. But this is one of the

things that you have to deal with when you take any kind

of medication..the other problems they can give you..

My doctor gave me a 10 day supply of antibiotics because

of the open area on my left stump.. Gail felt it would help

since it was a open and very nasty looking area. I carry

a staph germ so I have to be careful.. Well I got the pills-

on the bottle it says, side effects : could cause drowsiness

or dizziness.. See? There are side effects with EVERY

one of my medications..

Sometimes they advertise pills on TV and the side effects

that they can cause are scarey! The patch I was just on for

pain has been recalled. I saw that on TV. I'm glad I wasn't

on it for very long.

Penny came today and got us all set for the weekend. We

are, according to TV, sposta be in line for a blizzard!~ The

COA brought extra bag of food, and now they have started

the morning bag. Bread, slice of ham and a slice of cheese,

a hard boiled egg and juice. But I will sit back and wait to

see if we get the blizzard and 12 inches of snow...:-)

Time to post and get on with this day. I have stuff I need to

do, one is to put together a wreath for the door. I havent

gotten my tree out, but.. I don't know if I will or not. I'm not

really in a christmasy mood.. I'm trying to get that way by

listening to that radio station.. It helps.. I'm still a most

GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. and I shall return! :-)

Happy Weekend! :-)

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you 'friend'.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
