Can't Swallow
Jun. 7th, 2002 10:37 amThe continuing saga...
It started here, when I was seeing the NP for asthma-related stuff and she cultured my throat only to discover I had strep...even though I hadn't had a sore throat at all and felt fine, other than the not breathing well thing.
So I'm a good girl, I pick up the prescription for ten days of ammoxicillin, 500 mg, three times a day and all that. I take all ten days worth. And now...after ten days of antibiotics, I've got a sore throat. (It actually started a couple of days ago, but still-one would think I'd still feel fine, at least as far as my throat went...but no. Can't swallow much today. It hurts. Not fair, this sucks and all that. It's Pride weekend for goodness sakes...and I have things to do. Work related things to do. (I'll admit the concept of Work and Pride in the same thought is still a little odd...like, work is encouraging me to go out and be visibly queer.) I expect I'll make some post about Pride over the weekend somehow...
And for those of you celebrating Pride in your own city this weekend...have fun. Don't get too much sun.
