Streptococcus

In other words...Strep throat.


I would not wish this upon anyone.  Stayed home from work yesterday to get some rest and hoping that I would feel better.  Well woke up this morning feeling worse.  I'm not really the type who rush to the doctor everytime I'm not feeling well.  However, I was not able to swallow.

Happy Halloween to me.  I went as the sick social worker!

The doctor had a intern with her who also seen me.  The nurse did a flu test and swabbed my nose and it was horrible.  Then the intern was like, I don't think you have the flu, I want her to check you for strep.

Five minutes later, she is jumping up and down.  I was right!  You have strep and gives me a high five.  I helped boost her confidence.  Anything to help!

I was prescribed some meds and I can't wait until they start working.  It sucks being thirsty and not being able to swallow.  I've been trying but it hurts really bad.  The doctor told me to eat popicles and I have been slowly eating those.

I feel best when I wake up for my naps in sweat.  My poor hair isn't taking this sweat to well.

I've lost 3lbs but you better believe it will come back because I'm craving Papa John's pizza and Chinese food.

Counting down until I can swallow without cringing.
