Week 3

Week of September 15
Even after 2 different antibiotics, Jillian's eye was not improving.  They swabbed her eye, but she had to wait a week for the results.  Once the results came back, they showed that it was viral (not bacterial like they originally suspected).  She has stopped taking the antibiotics and now is using lubricating eye drops.  Her eye has greatly improved! We think the antibiotics may have been irritating it, so it has taken almost 3 weeks to improve!
For entertainment this week, we went to a bar to see a guy play guitar, harmonica, and sing.  He was really talented, but live music doesn't start until late here, so we only stayed for about 45 minutes.  We also saw another movie.  We saw Pride, which is about the LGSM (Lesbians & Gays Support the Minors) movement in the 1980's.  It was a British film, and we both really enjoyed it.  This theater did not have couches, but they did have VIP tickets (one pound extra) that we took advantage of.  They provide you with a comfy leather seat right in the middle of the theater.
We had a pretty typical week in the pharmacy.  On Friday, we went to Stirling to work at the pharmacy at Stirling University.  It was interesting because it was a totally different patient population than we encounter at the other stores.  After Stirling, Katie returned to Edinburgh with us because we were bound for Dublin the next day! We took her to Bon Vivant, the tapas place we love.  Again, we had a great meal.  I even tried haggis, which just tastes like meatloaf.  It really wasn't bad at all--as long as you don't think about what you are eating!
We went to bed early, knowing we had a 6:30 AM flight to Dublin the next morning!
