...day five

never had a bacterial infection like this before and it has had me beat to shit... just a few days left on a thrice daily antibiotic and 10 more left a twice daily antibiotic. fever dreams at night have played out like passion plays about good vs bad in the context of bacteria vs anti-bacteria in human form and scaffolding climbing at great heights, bare foot on greasy surfaces in the rain and low lighting and being watched... all very weird but today I feel better. a couple of sinking spells and fades earlier but still better.

all because, in my opinion, of another recent gone south tooth extraction on top of the first one that's unleashed a murderous horde of bacteria into my blood stream. it gives one pause since the mouth is pretty much the bellwether of the overall health of the system. as a cautionary aside: pay attention to your mouth---

but on the other hand it was probably dirty water coming off my dog after a dip in the tank full of E. coli in the cold darkness.
