[Magdalen] I been bitten

[Susan Hagen]

I believe the black cat has a home since he looks sleek and well fed.
I still may try to trap and send him to the SPCA since he's becoming a
real threat to good order in the neighborhood.

I have to take antibiotics because of the knee replacements when I get
wounds or have procedures that break the skin. My surgeon impressed
upon me that that is non-negotiable and I know a couple of people who
did have infections settle in the prostheses, a situation too grim to
detail.   About the only ones I'm not allergic to are the mycins so
choices are very limited.  It was a real problem when I contracted
Lyme disease since I'm allergic to all the preferred meds.
