Doctor Who was better this week, I very much enjoyed Queen Victoria. She was ace. And very right about that whole banishing thing. It's mollified me a little about the Doctor being an arrogant ass being intentional. He's very judgemental about people making bad choices and causing deaths, but is somewhat nonchalant when *he* does it. Even Rose is getting numb to it. She sees a man horribly eviscerated by a werewolf, but her main reaction to the experience is "wow, we saw a werewolf! Cool!"

I also really liked the mention of the whole Bad Wolf thing and it's something I hope they follow-up on with Rose if there really is still "something of the wolf" in her.

Anyway, the point is, it was ten times cooler than last week. Even if the supposedly werewolf proof room with toxic anti-werewolf walls had a HUGE FREAKIN' WINDOW in the roof that a werewolf could conveniently crash through. And even if it didn't occur to them to simply CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND THEM as they ran screaming outta there, trapping the werewolf *inside* the room. So yay! Fun episode.

In other new, Kevie is SICK as a DOG. And screaming. And there ain't nothing I can do. Cos it's the antibiotics that are making him sick, but if he doesn't take them, he might get septacemia or something and spend ages in hospital. So instead he gets to stay at home and take drugs that give his stomach muscles epilepsy and a high chance of violent vomiting. Life is fun!

God, that sounds terrible. Is he allergic to *all* antibiotics?

He reminds me of my uncle, actually. My uncle has a predisposition to get *really* sick, and has a number of personal problems that make treating illnesses *really* difficult. He's been having a high fever for two weeks now, and at one point they had to give him enough sedatives to kill a horse to even be able to take some blood to do tests...

I hope Kev gets well soon...

Yeah, it is pretty crappy. He's not allergic to all antibiotics, just penicillin and something else called ciprofloxacin (that we *know* of...) so he's getting, like, second choice antibiotics I think.

He does sound kinda like your uncle. Kev doesn't (I hope) have a tendency to get *life*-threateningly ill, but he does just...get sick lots. And heavily. And medicating him tends to be complicated as he ends up allergic to about half the stuff they try on him.

On the plus side, the cut he has that got infected *is* getting better, so the drugs are working so he probably won't have to go to hospital, which he says makes it easier to deal with - you know, there being a point to the pain.

Thanks for the well-wishing. The last drug-day is Thursday so it's just a matter of hanging on until then.

I hope your uncle gets better soon, too.
