I got a cortisone shot in my hip on Thursday and by Friday I had a bad case of hives or rosacea on my face. I wonder if this is a side effect and if I need to be concerned. I am a little hot, no fever and I have had some trouble sleeping.
Additional Punctuation Rules When Using Quotation Marks. A rundown of the general rules of when and where to use quotation marks.

Use a comma to separate the elements in a series (three or more things), including the last two. You may have learned that the comma before the and is unnecessary, which is fine if you're in control of things. However, there are situations when, if you don't use this comma (especially when the list is complex or lengthy), these last two items in the list will try to glom together (like macaroni and cheese).
