Strep
Last week, I took Christian to the dr as you know for his double ear infection. The following Wednesday, I woke up with a sore throat, that kept getting worse.. I felt like I was swallowing a knife but had no other symptoms. I researched it online and I was afraid I had strep, I've never had it before neither have the kids or Mitch. By 4 pm I was in so much pain I called and begged the dr's office to just call me some meds. Of course they would have to see me. I had a horrible night of barely any sleep as I woke up every time I swallowed my knife down my swollen throat. By 4 pm I was had diarrhea issues and was running fever by 6 am. Called the dr at 7 couldn't get in till 10:20. Went in. STREP. At least I wasn't making it up. It hurt so bad. I went to bed with a towel on my pillow so I wouldn't have to swallow. Gross, yes. But I was desperate, every swallow was torture. Anyway so I'm feeling much better now and Mitch came down with the cold Sunday but no more strep so praise the Lord for that!! I was worried someone else might get it.

I thinks that's always been my most dreaded of any of the sickness symptoms. The knife swallowing!! Sounds terrible, Audrey. I can fully understand why you'd rather sleep with a towel than swallow the knife. Must've been most miserable!! Glad you're better....for now.
Love
haHAA! I'm 1000!! That makes me most awesome!!
Love
oh, and, please remove the lollipop song. it's unbearable :D
Ah yes, strep. been there. had that. would rather NEVER have it again. EVER. It's the worst pain ever....because it's not like you have a choice - you HAVE to swallow.....well, that is unless you drool on your pillow. :-)
