Organic Soup, Hydrocodone and Antibiotics

December 30th, 2008 by Rian | 5 Comments | Filed in Food Photos, Organic Foods, Product Reviews

To say I am excited about these new soups (from Whole Foods) would be an understatement…

Mmmmmmm! This goes right along with my soup-heavy diet quite well.

So far I have only tried the Garden Tomato flavor - I’m eating some of it now in fact - and it’s very, very good.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but Whole Foods is simply my favorite food/grocery store EVER. It’s even better than Trader Joe’s.

In other news, I’ve begun my latest antibiotics regime. It’s Augmentin, which is a strong version of Amoxicillin and another drug. It makes me very nauseated and dizzy, but I’m dealing with it. And in combination with hydrocodone, which I’m taking for pain, is a real bag o’ fun. (NOT). For some reason this round of Tonsillitis has been very painful - my neck/throat glands were hurting so bad the other day that it nearly brought me to tears.

Hydrocodone (which is Vicodin and Lortab in generic form) is a narcotic painkiller that some people can get addicted to. Oddly enough instead of making me tired, it actually gives me strange OCD-like behavior. After taking one, I sometimes feel the strangest urge to obsessively clean my apartment or do some grueling and tedious website work. I wonder why it does this to me? About 30 minutes after taking one this morning, I cleaned my bedroom from top to bottom and then organized my book collection. I recall that Percocet (Oxycodone) did this to me too when I was taking it after some oral surgery. Interesting…

Anyway, I’m going to keep up with the vitamins, healthy eating and healthy sleeping hours and I am confident that I will kick this damn infection once and for all!

My Travel Snacks

August 23rd, 2008 by Rian | No Comments | Filed in Food Photos, Updates

Those are, from left to right, cashews, peanuts, raw organic pumpkin seeds, and raw organic sunflower seeds.

Delicious and healthy! These ought to keep my blood sugar stable and help me avoid all of the tempting fast food on the road.

Anyway, I am leaving shortly… and am stopping just outside St. Louis MO for the night. Today is the shortest leg of my trip, only about 5 hours. The place I’m staying tonight has room service, so I am going to order a yummy chicken or steak dinner with veggies.

I’ll be updating this blog whenever I can, hopefully daily!

Time to hit the road…
