siiiiiiick

My throat tastes like blood. I'm at my mom's house. I have plans for tonight. I have plans for tomorrow. I have plans for tomorrow night. I have plans for the day after tomorrow. They are all good plans. They involve people I only get to see once or twice a year. I can't talk. All I want to do is lie in bed. This is horrible. I don't know what to do.

I've been talking to the Junebug about how when he was a baby we made all his decisions and when he's an adult he'll make all his decisions & right now he's somewhere in between & we still have to make some of his decisions for him even though he doesn't want us to (this was after some tearful screaming of "I'm cold but I don't WANT to put on my jacket!") And his face lit up & he beamed, "When you're a grown-up you get to make all the decisions!" You do, kid. Mostly on wildly insufficient information and with a heavy cost either way.

So true!

Ice pack around front of neck helps a little. Cucumber or mint popsicles are also nice. So sorry!

Have you had mononucleosis? It could be that.

It could also be strep. Any chance of getting your throat cultured? If it's strep and you get on antibiotics right away, you'll be feeling a lot better by Sunday.

Strep? I am finding that post-kids I get milder strep, so he groat knives are smaller, and sometimes I don't go in for a week and an miserably sad once I do go in and realize how fast I'll feel better post antibiotics.
