strep

Well, turns out I had strep throat. Which I don't remember being quite as horrible as this bout was. I used to get strep just about every winter when I was little up until I was twelve or so. I haven't had it since and will gladly never, ever have it again.

I'm glad my husband was able to take time off work (well, sorta--he still did some work from home). I was in no condition to care for the kids. I spent Wed. afternoon through Saturday night pretty much in quarantine in my room (save for my doctor visit Friday morning). By Saturday night I finally had enough energy to manage the steps (after having meds in me for a day) and was able to come down and watch some tv that night. Sunday I was well enough that I could eat a little bit of real food and go watch the kids play at the park with the freakishly warm weather. Today I'm running at about 75%--still not a lot of energy or appetite but otherwise I'm doing ok.

Fun fact! Strep in adults can morph into mono! So, if I'm extremely tired in a week still or get a tell-tale rash from my antibiotics--mono! Fabulous.
