The strep came back, the very next day week. The strep came back, I thought it was a goner! The strep came back, it just couldn’t stay awaaaaaay.
Yeah so my strep throat is back. I am not at all happy about this. It’s not as bad as the first time – the lumpy sore times appears to be isolated on the right side and it doesn’t quite feel like death needles in my food tube, but still. Kind of pissed. I’d never had any kind of strep throat (that I can recall) until last week, so this is all new and terrible and I hate it. I was supposed to be healthy all December, remember? That was the deal.
So, more bed rest. More antibiotics – penicillin, this time. This is going to be interesting, because once upon a time many years ago I was allergic to penicillin. Am I still? No one knows! It’s all so exciting and fun to behold! Sarcastic exclamation points!
SO GRUMPY.
Ed may be giving it back to you. He could be a carrier without the symptoms. I had strep 5 times in a row (no, I’m not kidding), my kids kept reinfecting me. Take Ed with you to the Dr and get them to swab his throat as well. If he tests positive for strep, they’ll give you both antibiotics and you should be good to go.
