hawkwing_lbWinter isn't coming. It's still far too warm. But the earth continues to rotate around the sun, and daylight hours grow ever shorter -
- and now we're on Winter Time, and it'll be sunset by three minutes past five.
And the sea area forecast from 1200 today has a gale force warning in operation.
Forecast for coasts from Malin Head to Carlingford Lough to Wicklow Head and for the Irish Sea north of Anglesey:
Wind: Southwest to south, force 7 to strong gale force 9, gradually decreasing force 3 or 4 for a time tonight, but increasing west to northwest force 5 or 6 by morning, then westerly, force 6 to gale force 8.
Forecast for coasts from Wicklow Head to Hook Head to Mizen Head and for the Irish Sea south of Anglesey:
Wind: Southwesterly, gale force 8 to strong gale force 9, decreasing southerly or variable force 4 to 6 for a time early tonight but increasing west to northwest force 6 to gale force 8 overnight, with a risk of strong gales or storm force winds for a time mainly in the southeast, becoming westerly force 6 to gale force 8 early tomorrow.
High winds. Yay.
PS: I am still not healthy and terrified I will never be so again, so that's another annoying thing. Although I did go for a three-minute run with slightly less wheezing than yesterday, which is something - but now my kidneys ache again. FEAR. TERROR. HYPOCHONDRIA.

It is possible that the kidney infection is fighting the antibiotics. In which case, after you come off this course, you'll have to go on something else that the bacteria haven't built up a resistance to. It will suck and it will take longer than if this first round had worked straightforwardly (and I'm not saying it isn't—your kidneys may ache simply because they've had an infection for, what, a month at this point? So they're as bruised and healing as the rest of you) and there will be all the fun of antibiotic side effects because everyone who's already sick needs those. It will not mean that you will NEVER BE HEALTHY AGAIN. I can't see anything from this chain of events that would damage your health permanently. If you were going to have kidney failure, I think someone would have noticed by now. So the worst you're looking at is really STILL NOT HEALTHY RIGHT NOW DAMMIT. Which is awful enough on its own time! But at least that's where it should stay.
(And anyway I hope the antibiotics are working and this is just the infection getting in its last few shots on the way out the door. How long have you been on them?)

Date: 2013-10-27 05:32 pm (UTC)I guess I'm just really antsy because I'm too used to coming back quickly. The arrogance of youf! ...Not to mention I can't really afford lingering fatigue that's robbed me of all ability to focus on tricksy concepts and thesis-writing. But since I have it anyway, I suppose I should try not to resent it. Too much.
(This is my second seven-day course of the same antibiotic. There was at least a week's break in between courses of amoxycillin, but it was different doctors prescribing, so no continuity of care there. Next time, so not going to the emergency Sunday doctor. Even if I am full of mad panic from fever-sweats and aches. At least the GP has continuity of records.)
