Still feeling crappy...

[vynehorn]

The sore throat is on day #4, and I'm very tired of it. Went to the doctor's office. They saw spots on the throat and did a strep test, but it came out negative. Since viral stuff usually cycles out in 3-5 days, I need to wait another day or two. If things aren't better by then, I can then use the prescription they gave me, as it's probably some other type of bacteria.

<sigh>

At this rate, going down to Pennsic on Saturday is highly unlikely. I just don't have the energy to drive 8 hours and then set up my tent and the camp. I'm still hoping to go - the trip will just be a bit shorter than planned.

if it were me, I'd start on the antibiotic now :)

so sorry to hear that you still feel so bad -- hope that you get well quickly so you can have a fun vacation!

Thanks. I hope you and Luke have an uneventful trip down. I'll call you to let you know when/if I'll be there (once my voice comes back, that is).

I have to agree with his Excellency... Whether or not it's strep, if they gave you the prescription it can only help.

The HR director several jobs ago strongly recommended whisk(e)y as well... I've generally found it to be effective and at least helps numb the throat :)

The only problem with the whiskey solution is that fact that I don't drink alcohol. But I guess it could be fun for others to watch. :-)

That would make the whiskey solution a little more challenging....

It might be better to shorten your vacation than to risk infecting everyone.
Unless you plan to camp with the mid...

LOL! Agreed. That's why I stayed home from work today - I like my co-workers, and some of them are going on vacation soon.

Poor Muirne...er... Elizabeth!
I know how much you look forward to this trip.
(I know how much I wish I could be going...)
