Antibiotic backlash

Well, Bud's finished both courses of medication and the incision seam is coming together nicely. However, he's been fighting what appears to be a viral bug for the past five days which means he spends most of the time sleeping. There's a white mucus like discharge coming from his nose and he's become quite listless, probably due to fever.

So, I'm getting some extra exercise carting him around. I'm not too worried about it since it's pretty common to come down with secondary infections when your immune system has been demolished by antibiotics.

I'm just hoping he'll be able to get over this soon. We're spending a day of rest in Jordan toay at the Garfield Motel. Then tomorrow we'll be back on 200 moving farther east.


Sometimes it's as if he's laughing at me, like he's thinking, 'Ha, ha! Look who's smiling now.'
