Bacteria Aplenty

The results of my blood test reveal it’s likely not mononucleosis, but my white blood cell count is high, which means there’s still infection lounging around my body. Apparently, I personally contain more malicious bacteria than the surface of the average New York City subway pole. So I ditched my amoxicillin, got a 10-pill ciprofloxacin prescription filled and started with my first dose tonight. Is it too much to ask that I feel 100% better by this weekend? (Hint: No.)
