Still sick

[pegkerr]

I have lost my voice entirely, and I have a terribly fierce sore throat. Swollen glands and fever. I think there's a pretty good chance this is strep. One of the other secretaries at my office called in that she had it. I'm waiting for the doctor's office to call me back to let me know if they can fit me in.

The humidifier broke; I need to get another one.

I want pho, dammit. I am determined to get it, somehow, for lunch.

Ed had a really weird virus a few months back that involved his uvula -- or whatever that thingie is that dangles down in the back of your throat -- ballooning to some truly unreasonable size. It hurt like heck. He said the salt water gargle tasted utterly foul, but helped a ton. He also used this OTC spray-on stuff from the pharmacy, which decreased the pain sufficiently that he could eat and drink, which was good.
