So This is Strep



I have no idea why I went into work last night. I called in sick the past three nights and went to the Doctor who told me to have 48 hours of "vocal rest" because I have a pretty good case of strep throat. Nice. However, typical Matt decides I am fine going to work anyway...barely able to speak (it had gotten worse since I got to work...my voice was OK when I woke up yesterday).

For those of you who have never had strep throat, it's a treat. It feels like you're swallowing pieces of glass and you just plain feel like poo. Also, let's not forget my voice sounds like someone who smokes 8 packs a day.

Yeah, I'm sexy (cough, cough, hack).

Fortunately I am not contagious anymore so no one is at risk of getting strep from me but if you've ever had it you know it's a horrible sickness. Since I have such a sore throat I haven't eaten anything for 2 days thus making strep a fantastic diet. We all make sacrifices.

I'm using a vaporizer for my bedroom. I'm not sure it helped but it did make my room about 168 degrees. Pretty much watched episodes of "The Family Guy" all day yesterday and will continue today. It's a great show, great humor, and is at about my 5th grade mentality level. Perfect.

Alright, I am off. Bring on the green tea and honey!

Take care of yourself. Strep is nothing to scoff at. I've had it a few times, and I know that it is not only the worst sore throat that a person can possibly imagine, but it also saps the entire body of energy. Listen to your bod, drink lots of warm fluids, and get plenty rest!

My daughter has had strep, she was pretty sick with it. My son loves the Family Guy shows. He watches them all the time. I hope you start to feel much better soon, Matt.

They used to call it tonsillitis. Doc said "you get it again and the tonsils come out". I didn't get it again! You wrote a good post for not feeling good!

You better start taking better care of yourself--this is the 3rd or 4th time you haven't been well since you started blogging--need you in great form so you can report all about college AND the budding romance--you don't kbnow how many great memories you are bringing back to me 60+ years later!!!
