I�m sure you�ve all been dying to know what�s been up since I announced this so I�ll try to give you a little update... *My temperature still hovers around 101 degrees depending on how recently I�ve taken Ibuprofen. *My throat got WORSE and now I can hardly, if at all, talk - I�m sure my husband appreciates this symptom :-P *I went to the doctor today to make sure it wasn�t strep throat and to get antibiotics if it was...it wasn�t. *The doctor said I could continue doing exactly what I�ve been doing which translates to lots of Ibuprofen, Robitussin, popsicles, and plenty of free range�s favorite beverage. *The doctor said that I probably just have a bizarre and severe cold and viral laryngitis - I hope she�s right and that this stuff will go away on it�s own soon because if I�m feeling the same or worse in a week or so that I have to go back in and get tested for...MONO! :-O I will be BEYOND pissed off if I end up having that so hopefully whatever this virus is will die! *The doctor had offered to write me a prescription for a pain killer to make the throat thing easier to deal with but warned that the side effects would probably be worse than just suffering with a sore throat. Then she offered to write me a prescription for topical lidocaine but I passed on that one because the thought of spending the next few days feeling like I just came home from the dentist wasn�t appealing to me. That shit numbs anything it touches and last for hours - no thanks! So I think that�s everything - the short version is that I�m still stick, they�re not 100% sure what it is, there�s nothing more to do than what I�ve already been doing, and if it doesn�t go away soon I have to get tested for mono. In other, more exciting news, my husband is bringing me a CHOCOLATE MALT when he�s done with his night class tonight - oh what a sweet (and COLD) glass of relieve that will be! I may or may not have also asked for french fries - shhhhh... |
