I have felt the tickle in my throat all week, but just thought I was getting a head cold, until yesterday.  I could barely get out of bed, my throat was hurting, but I managed to get up and make it into work.  I lasted until 2:00, which is when the fever was getting to the point that it was unbearable.  I was sitting at my desk shivering like it was 20 below zero in there.  I didn’t sleep worth a damn last night and this morning, I could not swallow at all, so I put on a bra and my flip flops and dragged my ass up to the doc-in-the-box.

Twenty minutes and fifty dollars later - it is confirmed, I have strep throat!!!  I have been laying in bed/sleeping all damn day and I still feel like shit, but I am also restless as hell.  I have to take amoxicillan three times a day for ten days - it amazes me that they give you pills when you quite obviously cannot swallow.  Well, now I can say I got up and did something…I am going to go lay back down again.
