Strep, Again

Five weeks ago, I had the worst case of strep throat I had ever experienced. I could barely swallow at all, and actually woke up one morning and had to keep spitting because I literally could not swallow at all. Scary.

Now I have it again. It's not nearly as bad, but I decided to see the doctor just in case my scratchy red throat was what I feared. It was.

So now I'm sitting in the doctor's office waiting 20 minutes to be sure that I'm not going to die from the injection they just gave me. I doubt that is going to happen, but my right hip feels like it's on fire. Great stuff, antibiotics. The good news is that I don't need to take anything after this. One stop cures. :)

I also get a day off of work, though I'll have to go into the office to pick up my laptop. Deadlines won't move for a minor illness.

Above all, I am very very grateful for the fact that I don't actually feel that badly.

Later.
