Health Update: Recovering But Still Zombified by Cipro

THE ANTIBIOTIC CIPROFLOXACIN, every bit as unpleasant as they say it is -- nearly as debilitating as chemotherapy -- has gooned me out to the extent that only now, three days after finishing the course of medication, am I even beginning to be able to again purposefully focus my (alleged) mind. I began work on a a blog post Sunday afternoon, then discovered it required much more research than I had anticipated and am thus aground until I can find the data I need. Combine that with the fact that though I was a card-catalogue whiz, I'll never be any good at Internet research -- I despise it for the same reason I despised the childhood game Simon Says (if you don't word your query exactly correctly, you get bupkes) -- and it will be late today or maybe even tomorrow  before I get this new essay written.  Meanwhile, my repeated apologies; I'll be back in print as soon as I am...well, back in print.
