How bad is it when you go to the doctor and he looks in your throat and makes the comment "oh, dear God" not once but twice. And he does not usually exaggerate. So yes i went to the doctor today around 2:00 for an extremely sore throat that has been getting worse over the last four days. I knew it was time to go to the doc when my throat was so swollen and hurt so bad i was gagging on my breakfast. Surprise today tho waiting for 2:00 to roll around i started getting super chilled in my house. I swear it was like zero, hands turned to ice and my muscles hurt to even walk. OMG. So it was plus 19 outside and i bundled up in sweatpants, long sleeve shirt and a sweater and i was off to the doctor. Thank god trevor was off early and he took deklen, as i don't think i would have been able to carry him. SO diagnosis - Strep A, yep - STAY AWAY FROM ME. Deklen can also get it and i am now paranoid. Lots of hand sanitizer and washing Everything. so i am taking the super strength motrin and pennicilin to get me back on my feet. It is going to be a rough night. I was supposed to meet cindy for our learn to run class tonight, but how could i run when i can barely walk? Sorry Cindy. I have a lot of catching up to do this week so this pennicilin better be working by tomorrow morning.
