I'm sick.

I started feeling really bad yesterday after lunch. I got in bed about 3pm and slept. By 7pm, I thought I was going to die. My throat hurt so bad I cried. Then I fell back asleep until morning. Obviously, I didn't go to work this morning. Just got back from the doctor's office where I was diagnosed with strep throat. I got a big penicillin shot, so in 24 hours I won't be contagious any more.

By the way, Kristen is the best nurse ever! She's been taking great care of me the past couple days. She brings fresh water on a regular basis. She briought food. She is wonderful and I never would have made it through this without her!

Judging from the next day's party photos you bounced back from strep throat much quicker than I did. When I had it I was in bed for three days. And oh, the throat pain! It was horrible!!

Actually, JC, I've posted pictures out of the date order. I went to the party on Saturday, got sick on Sunday, went to the doctor on Monday. So while it appears like I had a quick recovery, I actually spent a couple days in bed.

Hey, I have a really bad sore throat today. Do you have to have a fever in order to have strep? Just wondering.

Akram, I hate giving out medicial advice, because I'm not a doctor. I don't know if you HAVE to have a fever, but I know I did have a fever. Really, the only way to truly know if you have strep is to get a test done at the doctor.
