can we have a slap some sense into your husband day?

DH gets wisdom teeth removed a few weeks ago.  He was allergic to the first set of anitbiotics.  Got a new set from his PCP.  He 'thought' he was allergic to those and stopped taken them.  I didn't know, because I was being a nap about the pills I just stopped asking.3.5 weeks later he looks like a chipmunk.  Goes to the dentist yesterday.  They say he has an infection (surprise, surprise) and gives them same antibiotics as the first set he is allergic to.  WHY do you ask?  Good question.  My idiot of a husband did not tell them he was allergic to them and got different ones from another doctor.No it gets better.  He actually takes the antibiotics knowing he might be allergic to them.    I just want to slap the shiit out of him right now.

I'm sorry to be laughing at him, but that is just ridiculously dumb.

Oh no!  That doesn't sound like fun.  He probably wants to kick himself too.

Actually I am laughing at him.  He is getting on a plane on Sunday.  A tooth ache on a plane. Fun times. Oh and right now there are only middle seats.  He is 6 foot and 270 lbs.  Him in a middle seat = miserable.  I'm glad I'm flying up serperatly.

You should slap him right in his chipmunk face! Seriously though, taking antibiotics you are allergic to can be dangerous - did he stop and switch to something else?

He did stop and has an appointment with his PCP today.  The dentist is off island today.  That is the bad thing here.  The oral surgeon has office hours in St Croix (a 20 min plane ride away). I know the PCP. I might call him to give him a heads up.  Maybe even see if he wants to play a joke on DH and tell him he is not allowed to fly.
