When's that then?

I mentioned last night that I have two lots of antibiotics to take, one 3 times a day, one 4 times a day. The latter also have instructions about how they should fit in with my eating... specifically, they're to be taken on an empty stomach, and I'm not to eat for an hour after taking them.

Hrm.

I can manage that in the morning obviously - I'm assuming my stomach counts as empty after a night's sleep, and I don't like to eat until I've been awake for a couple of hours. After that though, it gets kinda tricky. Four times in a day means I need to take them every 4 hours or so. Not eating for an hour after taking them means I've then got three hours until I'm due to take the next lot. Is three hours enough to count as an empty stomach?

The chances of me remembering to do anything to that accurate a schedule are minimal anyway... I guess I'd better start setting an alarm for each time I'm due to take them.

Oh, progress report: the red area hasn't got much smaller, but the soreness has decreased greatly, and the swelling has gone down a lot too. So I reckon I'm staying out of hospital this time, yay. Today I think I'll avoid packing by going out to the park to play with my new staff :)
