Followup to panicky last minute issues

[dreamshark]

Doctor did not find Richard's arm nearly as disturbing as I did, but did agree it was bad enough to merit a course of oral antibiotics. He didn't seem at all worried about taking the arm to the Caribbean or tell him to stay out of the water (which would pretty much defeat the point of going).  So that's a relief.

On the other hand, I seem to be coming down with a cold, which is a bummer. On the other hand, if I'm going to get a cold at this time of year, the tropics seems like the place to do it.  When I get colds in the fall they tend to turn into winter asthma. Maybe a little bit of tropical heat and sunshine will be just the thing.

In other news, American Airlines has cancelled 300 flights this week.  The pilots union denies "job action," insisting that it is just coincidence so that so many of their pilots aren't feeling well. So... we'll see how that goes.  Checking the details of my trip insurance...

Sunshine and salt water sound like a good therapy. Have a wonderful trip.

I hope your trip isn't canceled and I hope that the pilots are feeling better soon, what with everything that's going around these days. It might help them to feel better if they had a decent contract offer.

Glad to hear Richard is doing okay. Your description made it sound like something that needed to be looked at quickly, and it was, and dealt with.

Good luck on the plane trip. Maybe make a pin that says "higher pay for baggage handlers" or somesuch.

Salt water is generally considered therapeutic for minor infections. But it sounds as if oral antibiotics are also a good idea.

Have fun!

Have a great trip! Sunshine, beaches and salt water sound like excellent cold-therapy.
