This just gave me a chuckle

I went to pick up my Vortirent yesterday and the pharmacist had me stay for 30 minutes to go over a few things. She talked about possible side effects, how to store this medication, and just a few other instructions. One of these just made me break out laughing, but I'm sure she didn't get it.
She told me that for the first 3 days after starting this med. that I ned to double flush the toilet after using it, I must clean the toilet and sink after using the bathroom, no one can use the bathroom after me until I clean it. #1- I hate cleaning toilests at home, let alone I work at an elementary school and I seriously have no intention of cleaning a school bathroom.
I was told that for the first 3 days taking this drug, I need to wash my hands before and after touching anybody. Geeeze, I'll be doing nothing but cleaning bathrooms!
Thought some of you might understand the humor in this. Have a good day everyone. Might not hear from me fast, as I will most likley be cleaning some bathroom.

WOW! Those were interesting
WOW! Those were interesting instructions! Now, I am kind of sorry that mom gets her meds through the mail, I would have love to have seen her expression when she was told to scrub the toilet and wash her hands before and after touching someone. I have never heard any of this before. Are you sure this isn't April 1st? LOL
Did they tell you not to eat 2 hours before taking the Votrient and an hour after taking it? Also do you plan on taking it at night?
Glad you have your meds now Baaa-bs, I hope all goes well! Don't forget to wash! LOL

Well, I shared yourBaaa-bs said:PM it is
I've decided to take my dose at bedtime to maybe avoid some of the side effects. Since I go to bed early, I'm able to have 3 hours time wise after I eat. So far, so good. Today we do day 2.
I thought her instructions were a little wierd.... knew you'd all love it too.
Well, I shared your instructions with my mom... i cannot tell you the Italian words she said! LOL But you can just imagine the chuckle she got out of that one! Keep up the good work Baaa-bs... laughing is good medicine!
Let us know how you are doing.... xxoo

That was just probably her subtle way of telling you no sex for the first three days!
