Being sick.
Thursday night I started to feel a little bit sick. I probably only slept for an hour or so that night. I thought I must have cold. I went to school the next morning and could barely sit up. Still not know what was wrong with me, I came home and took my temperature. It was around 102 degrees. I laid in bed most of the day and tried to work, but it was tough. They my throat started hurting a lot. It was hard to eat because each swallow was like swallowing something hurty. As I lay in bed that night the thought occurred to me that I probably had strep throat. I told my wife this, knowing that she probably thought that I just had a cold and was just being a baby. Anyway, today I went to the doctor and got my throat swabbed. Sure enough, I’ve got strep throat. Then the nurse practitioner gave me some options. He said I could either get a shot of penicillin or take it orally for the next few weeks. I of course decided to take the shot. Last time I had strep throat the nurse was really nice and gave me the shot slowly over the span of about a minute. Not this guy. He pushed that syringe empty in about 5 seconds. It’s like having peanut butter injected into you. Yes, and it’s in your rear. It was a little hard to walk afterwards and felt quite <sarcasm>wonderful</sarcasm>. Anyway, It’s about 8:40 and I’m feeling quite a bit better now. Still hurts a little to swallow, but I don’t feel as loopy.
