My appointment

[pegkerr]

I had my appointment this afternoon. The rapid test was negative for strep, so no antibiotics for me. It's simply a nasty, nasty virus, and I just have to wait it out. Rest, fluids, salt water gargle, etc. She told me I shouldn't expect to go back to work until next week. "Wear fuzzy slippers and have your family wait on you hand and foot," she told me.

Hopefully she's culturing that throat swab, too.

Yes, she is.

Since I seem to be getting sick, too, can I blame you? Say you gave it to me via a computer virus? :P Hope you feel better soon. And, y'know, I did suggest that maybe you could take a few days off and treat yourself, but I didn't mean you had to be sick for it to happen. Clearly, though, your body is telling you what you already knew: you need the rest. Hope the recovery isn't too miserable. *offers lemon tea with honey*

Anything liquid with ginger in it will be soothing for your throat-- ginger tea, chicken broth with ginger root, etc.
Feel better soon.
