Speed bump...

I think I'll just categorize this week as a "speed bump" kind of week. You know those kinds of weeks: the ones where your slow down to a ridiculous speed and push the gas pedal just enough to keep accelerating forward. Yep, that's my week in a nutshell.

I woke up last Friday morning and had a bit of a sore throat but thought it was due to my walking outside during the week. silly allergies again. THat's certainly not anything new in my world. Saturday dawned and I went shopping and ran errands in the early afternoon. Came home and took a 2 hour nap...My throat by Saturday night HUrt. By Sunday morning I had a high fever and could hardly swallow. I was miserable..or so I thought. I carted myself off to the minute clinic and they did a rapid strep test. The cultured swab sits in this solution for 6 minutes before it's supposed to show anything. My culture showed positive for strep in 2.5 minutes. YIKES! Got my meds and went home. Little did I know that Monday would be even worse than Sunday. Monday I found my throat MORE swollen, irritated...raw really, and covered in WHITE. It was NASTY! I couldn't even swallow my own saliva....Yes, it was THAT bad! You know I'm sick when I only ate 270 calories in an entire day! Today has been much better. I can swallow my own saliva and I don't have any fever...first in 4 days! YAY for PROGRESS!!!!!!!

I'm hoping to be back at work on Thursday...
