12/03/2013: "Strep Throat & new background"

So yesterday I was doing well at work and then the afternoon, I was clearing my throat a lot and sniffling. Dang allergies. But no... allergy stuff didn't work on it. Hrm. By the time I get home, my throat is so very sore and I can barely breathe. Popped more allergy stuff and by 8, took some nyquil, thinking I'll need something to sleep the night. Come the morning (today) yeah, this throat is awful, I can't breath, I feel like I got hit in the face. Called and left a message for the doc as this is not a normal allergy sinus thing to me. It feels so sore, my nose is sore from blowing and rubbing... I went into work, called the doc for a prescription for sinus infection. Nope, they need to see me. So I run out to the doc and they do a little throat culture while checking other symptoms like pressure points for sinus etc. The little 5 min test showed I have strep. How the heck did that happen?! So antibiotics and told to go home, not back to work as I need the antibiotics for 24 hours before going back to work. GAH! Called in to tell them I couldn't come back but my voice is so raspy, it hurts to talk. Fine okay they say, take it easy and see you on Thursday.

Later on I call as I remember a piece of my work that needed to be sent to another department and called in. Dot got it taken care of and told me they sprayed the whole office down after my call to them from the doctor's. :D Yeah, I'm glad they did. I don't know where I picked it up from and I was fine yesterday morning! Or so I thought. So figured to update the background with a December theme since I'm not going out anywhere for 24 hours. Had two doses of antibiotics now and it's alleviating some of the pain and taking some mucinex stuff to clear the breathing apparatus. :X I got the CVS store brand in liquid form since it hurts to swallow too. It's actually helping me breathe a little better.

Bri made mac & cheese with bacon bits for me late afternoon. And I'm drinking tea. Good as it's gonna be for today.

So that's all from here.

Good Day and Good Blessings!
