MACROBID, NITROFURA MONO

This past year hasn't been a pleasant experience. After 5 trips and 5 hospital stays, I found out what my problem was. Each time I went in to ER I had the same symptoms. During the day I felt great, other than I had developed an urinary infection. Each time I was prescribed antibiotics to get over the infection. Unbeknown to me or any of the doctors, I was allergic to these pills. These particular strains of antibiotic are "WICKED". I would not recommend taking these under any circumstance. It makes one think they are having a heart attack. Chest hurts, hoarseness, fever, glands swell up, fever and totally sick. After going through all the heart related tests, I was keenly aware that this wasn't what my problem was. Finally, the last trip, I was told by the Urologists nurse that I was allergic to the medicine. I thought, if I was allergic that day, I was allergic each time I would take the antibiotic. All the dots lined up and after checking with the pharmacy records, each day I purchased this antibiotic, I would enter ER a couple hours later.

Macro bid comes in different names, but basically the same medicine. I am putting this on my blog so others will be aware of the hazards. Keep records of your medicines that you take and the effects they have.

MAGGIE--OUR CAIRN TERRIOR

Pets have a special place in one's life and they soon touch your heartstrings. Maggie was just that kind of a pet. She was our daughter's family dog and passed away this week. We would keep her at our house when they needed to be gone for awhile. Maggie would come bouncing in like she was so glad to see you. She would wait by the bedroom door for a early morning greeting. Maggie gave unconditional love to the family. I guess that is why God created dogs. No matter what, Maggie would always have a wagging tail to say, "I love you". A person could be down and Maggie could lift your spirits. Her presence is gone, but the memories that she gave to their family, and extended family will always be cherished.

When Maggie was less than a year old she nearly died, and we went to see her at the dog hospital. She was so sick that she could hardly stand up, but she knew we were there and I'm sure this helped her get well.

Another time, we stopped by to see our daughter and she wasn't home, and I told our granddaughter we would drop back. As we were parking, my husband saw the dog catcher go by their home. We left immediately and turned the corner and there was the dog catcher with "Our Maggie" under his arms. I jumped out and said, "Maggie, is that you?" The dog catcher let her down and she pitter pattered home. I said, "Maggie you sure got yourself into some hot water now". She didn't have her dog tag on and our granddaughter showed the dog catcher her tag. Whew! That was a close call! Maggie was playing in the neighbor's back yard with their dog and found a hole in the fence and got out.

Maggie had quite the personality, and could cause one to laugh at her antics. She will be missed. I believe that God will have our pets in heaven waiting for us, as He so loves us and wants us to be happy. So Maggie, greet us when we get there!
