I would like to blow my nose

[puppetmaker]

But right now that is a little hard to do because of the sutures. So I am gently sniffing and wiping a lot. The antibiotics seem to be doing their job at killing all the bacteria in my body. They do not discriminate taking out the good bacteria from the bad bacteria which has lead to some interesting GI issues which I will address after I am done with these antibiotics.

Caroline is having her "wellness" visit today. Anyone remember when it was called a check-up?

I am grateful I have such a happy little girl. You should hear her now. She is creating a story involving her unicorns and her horse Butterscotch.

Ouch! I hope that you feel better soon! I remember when it used to be called a checkup. Can't remember why they stopped calling it that though. *hugs*

Paging George Carlin! He'd get to the bottom of that...

Maybe people thought it was more specific and goal-oriented, so that you're "headed towards health!" Maybe they thought it was a warmer term, that "check-up" was too clinical (despite being accurate).

Whatever it is, yay for Caroline's health. And hopes for your return to full nose health. (Can anyone kiss your nose to make it better?)

Wish you well soon.

Somewhere between moving from FL to NY, I realized that "check-up" had become an outdated word, replaced by "wellness visit", much like how "playdate" had replaced "go see if the neighbor's kids are busy".

For those nasty GI issues, try yogurt. (I hate yogurt, but I still eat it when on antibiotics.)

GI issues...the wonders of antibiotics they don't tell you about.

:nodnodnod: I remember when it was called a check up AND when school physicals were covered under the insurance.

Butterscotch!! I had a pretend horse named Butterscotch round about when I was her age. I love Caroline! :remembers:
