Stupid Strep

I didn’t feel good Sunday evening. Chills, congestion...even after ibuprofen.  So I called in sick-easier to reschedule patients. My boss called and wanted me to see my PCP to get tested for flu. So I called early Monday, got in and got swabbed for flu (OMGerd disgusting) and strep (for good measure-my tonsils were swollen). Negative for flu but POSITIVE for strep. 

She has known me for two decades so her first words were: no work tomorrow either. She knows I do better if she sets boundaries for me. I went home, cried (I Hate being sick), took a nap (my sleep has been awful for a couple days...another indication something was wrong). My nursemaid was right there with me:

I got started on antibiotics and rested. I did get permission to run my mile IF it was super slow and indoors on my treadmill. I obliged. I’d really like to make it to day 1000. 

Today-more rest (I didn’t take a photo of AJ...it looked similar to yesterday). Scully was off plotting how to piss the dogs off, I’m sure. I’m feeling better. Worn out but my throat is better.
