I went to the doctor. I have strep throat. So, I've got antibiotics and orders to stay home tomorrow.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

D's and the dog D was sitting, who's smaller than his is. But yeah, good guess.

Hil, glad you went to the doctor and didn't go to work tomorrow and get sicker. Feel better soon!

Yeah, well. High and chatty and a close game on. And yeah, I wouldn't pick him for a sitter. Wonder how he'll be as a neighbor?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Are you going to have to buy new clothes or will you put the weight back on (in part or full) as you get healthier and have better food?
My clothes were getting tight, anyway.
I'm hoping to tone things up and get some exercise in the coming weeks.
I have a lot of pills now. I may have to ask Teppy if she has time to cross reference them and tell me the best time to take coumadin. If she has time.

Sitting around waiting for the antibiotics to make me not-contagious is boring.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hil, I'm at the doctor getting a strep test at this very moment. I type in solidarity with you. I don't think it is strep, but I've had a sore throat for 3 weeks (ish) that hasn't gotten better. Hasn't gotten *worse,* either, but no improvement in 3 weeks isn't a great sign. Plus I looked in the mirror with a flashlight this morning, and it looked like there were a couple of white patches. But I don't know; they could just be normal color variation of my throat. But I'm tired of my throat hurting like fire, so here I sit, having gotten the awful throat swab, awaiting the doctor.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Remember, streppies, if the throat is very painful, you can ask you doc for a Rx lidocaine gargle, and some docs Rx painkillers for it.
I wish I'd known that 15 years ago -- I have a history of very bad tonsilitis and strep bouts going back to easly childhood. VERY painful. The first time someone told me that her doc had Rx'd Vicodin for a sore throat, I was pissed.
I have a high pain tolerance, but with a 104 degree fever and as bad as the pain in my throat gets...ibuprofen did nothing, and I've had Rx painkillers Rx'd for pain definitely not as severe as that. I mean painful enough to require a Rx painkiller, but the throat pain I suffered is up there with a broken arm.
IJS -- feel better, guys!

The rapid strep test came back negative, and based on how my throat looks, the doctor said there's maybe a 50% chance the culture will come back positive. So she wants me to start antibiotics and then if the culture comes back negative in 48 hours, I can stop them.
Despite my reluctance to take antibiotics unnecessarily, I'm okay with that, because this just doesn't feel great.
