sending thoughts and feel good now to dragon's little potato.
Pero, and I thought it only happened where they didn't know any better like here. I remember growing up we used to be annoyed at how the tourists didn't know not to drive with a metre of snow on the roof... but yeah, those sheets of ice are deadly and it should be a serious offence to endanger other drivers in such a way.

the mr reports that he's now doing fine and nutty as usual. yesterday his fever shot up in the afternoon and then he was feverish at night too, so i hope that doesn't happen again. he really wants to go back to school. which is so cute.

Yay little potato.
Annie, living in the seat of the government, with regular biennial (=every other year) influxes of people from non-snow areas, the learning curve for driving in snow is annual at best. We don't get significant snowfalls (>6 inches or 15cm) every year, especially during the past 15-year warm patch, so even life-longers like me don't always behave optimally after the first big snow. It should be a serious offense but it isn't.

Our town gets an average of 397cm a year so knowing how to drive in snowy conditions is pretty important here.

Aw, poor tiny potato! Hope he's better soon too. Our town gets an average of 397cm a year so knowing how to drive in snowy conditions is pretty important here. Mapes... that's 13 feet - ! that's unnatural, I would complain to the authorities about that. and tzarine, I saw that tzarevitch's robotics team has advanced! tell him I am not surprised, but hooray!

Liiisa, I've made numerous complaints to the Dept. of Canadian Winters but I'm sure they've all ended up in the circular file. I suspect they are taking kickbacks from the ski hills.

seems like he's always taking antibiotics though. he doesn't seem to get better unless they are involved.

Look away, wino!
That's a tough one dragony, there's a fine line between helpful and harmful in antibiotics. Is it always for the same thing? (ears, throat?) If they could find out what's causing the infections and take steps to prevent them it would be helpfu.

Post by tinier_dragon on Jan 25, 2013 6:32:00 GMT 2
yeah, seems like it's always for the throat. maybe i'll write his doc an email.

Shocking, Scrubb. Poor potatocito! I hope the doc has a good answer, dragon.

yes, it really not normal that poor little potato has to suffer like that. Is it always the same culprit or different infections? yes, talk to your doc, Dragonmama!

it's usually a throat infection (tonsilitis) but not always. i think he's starting to feel better. thanks for all the concern.

when they took my tonsils out when i was a little girl many many many years ago, we got ice cream with our meals in hospital every day. we were kept on observation for a few days after the op to ensure no complication. apparently the ice was supposed to help with the healing... yey!
