Woe Is Me.

I haven't had strep throat since junior high and let me just say, I have no idea how I ever survived this. I stayed at home yesterday and slept most of the day, just for the simple fact that you don't swallow while you're asleep (for the most part). Swallowing is quite difficult and painful. I know I'm dehydrated, because I've not drank 20 ounces of anything since Sunday. And food? ha! I laugh at the thought of food. Those plastic freezer pops are the closest thing that I've had to food since Sunday. Those even hurt.

I went ahead and went into work this morning, just for the simple fact that my fever is gone. So, in theory, I'm not spreading the germy germs to everyone. But, I'm still distancing myself from others and avoiding talking. Talking hurts. As for my appearance...I went to work without makeup (this has only happened like 3 times in 3 years) and I'm wearing a sports bra under my shirt!! ha! I didn't want to get dressed this morning, so I made myself a deal :)

Today is day 2 of the ZPack. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Woe is me.

Oh girl, what a bummer! Strep is horrible - I remember that inability to be able to swallow anything for relief - not even anything cold or hot. HOpefully you get to feeling much better soon. Hang in there!

So, so, so sorry you are sick. I used to get that EVERY year from the time I started school until about Jr. High. I can only remember the misery. I hope you are able to eat soon.

Love a zpack. You should be feeling much better by tomorrow. Get yourself some ice cream and watch some tv tonight. That should help too!

I used to get strep every year, multiple times. The doc's just stopped running the tests and if I walked in their office they would just write me a prescription for a z-pack.
