I thought last weekend was bad...

...but this weekend takes the cake.

Thursday I was sick, sore throat, headache, etc, so I went to the doctor because I thought it might be strep throat since one of my clients had strep earlier in the week. The doctor did the strep test and everything but said it was just a virus, not strep, and that I would just have to wait it out. So I basically paid him my $20 copay to tell me to rest, drink lots of fluids and take Tylenol if I needed it. Thanks a lot.

But instead of getting increasingly better over the next few days, I got increasingly worse. By Sunday morning my throat was so red and swollen I could hardly swallow.

So I went to a local urgent care facility where another doctor declared that it was indeed strep throat. Fabulous.

He gave me lots of meds, including Vicodin. I slept most of Sunday and Monday and am finally feeling better today. I still feel only about 75% but my throat is soooo much better.

So now I am trying to catch up on several days worth of work before I head off for Thanksgiving vacation tomorrow afternoon. I probably don't really have time to be updating my blog, but oh well. It's already done now!
