So... my stupid cruel sore throat is back, one tonsil is swollen but not white, not sure if it is especially reddish.
Of course. I'm on vacation. Well, at least Daniel's not in the hospital.
I've taken Benedryl, Tylenol, and Ibuprofen, and I'm sucking on a giant Chloraseptic lozenge. For the moment, it seems to be helping.
When I got bit at work in May, the doc put one refill on the cephalexin. I'm sitting here staring at it the old bottle. Why should I shell out yet another $150 to see a nurse practitioner for a sore throat if I've got this for back up? Not planning on filling it yet, though.

Feel better, WindSparrow. Vitamin C is your friend.
Urgh-- woke up with a wicked bad headache.
Coffee hasn't helped yet. Time to go for ibu.
jebus! trying to use the roomba to vacuum up pine needles around the tree seems to have redistributed the pine needles all over the room. all over!
I'm joining the pain/sickness crowd with great disappointment. I've been doing so well this season, but yesterday, BAM. Headcold o rama.
I feel I should apologize to Sparky and her most excellent DH. The brought their sweet Sass to the last doggy lama workshop of the year and I was, quite simply, crap. Sorry guys!
The pain in my head was so bad that aspirin couldn't touch it and eventually led me to throwing up in the night. SO not fun.
In bright side news, I'm not coughing and the pain is now gone. I've just got that 'code in my node' thing going on and a little bit of the sore throat left.
More Vit. C and tea for me. (sounds like a children's book I should write). AAAChhhUUGH. Ugh. Somebody pass the tissues.
Feel better, bonny!
I woke up early and very sore this morning, but the soreness seems to be passing.
Bonny, sorry you are sick too.
Nora, that's awful frustraging (yeah, typo, but I left it cuz I like it) about the pine needles.

And hot saltwater gargle. It tastes like ass, but it will make your throat feel better, and help disinfect it, too.
Sounds like a migraine, bonny. I've got nothing helpful, but I'm glad you're feeling better. Health wishes to both of you.
Nora, sorry about the nauseous Roomba!
Shir, excellent is good, right?
