O. M. G. The kiddo started out sick week before last. I thought he had a rough time with allergies, and a little stomach virus. He never complained of his ears or throat hurting, but when he finally went to the doctor (thanks, Mom, for taking him while I was in class!) he had strep, conjunctivitis, ear infection and possible bronchitis. Poor little fella...
When Mom called me and told me it was strep, my throat had started hurting and my ears stopping up that morning. When I left town to head home last Thursday, I decided to come to the same clinic he'd been taken to. They closed at lunch. Boo. And everyone was closed Friday for Good Friday! I managed to tough it out til yesterday. I have strep, got a load of medicine and Doctor's Excuses from school last week and yesterday.
I don't ever remember having it, but it strep'd me right off my feet. I have been good for nothing. JD's been pretty pitiful as well, and has to go this afternoon for a checkup. We've piled up and watched movies and drank juice for the better part of the weekend.
As for me, I'm waiting on a phone call from the clinic. They didn't like what they saw in my throat. I have a cyst just under the size of a marble in the back of my throat. I have to go to an ENT now and have that checked out. Hopefully, it's something that will dry up soon and not cause any problems, but it worries me regardless. If you don't mind, say a prayer for me. I'd appreciate it.
