Little Buddy always wants to sleep with me, as she did Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. Â Saturday around seven, as we were sitting down to dinner, she complained that her throat was hurting. Â Sunday morning--the day of her party--she awakened running a temperature.
So, Holly had to call all the families to tell them that the party was going to have to be postponed. Â She then took Little Buddy to an urgent care center. The doctor said that her throat was extremely red, her tonsils were swollen and one of her ears was also red. Â He put her on antibiotics and by Tuesday she was fine.
Monday afternoon, my throat and left ear began to hurt. Â I chilled and did not sleep well Monday night. Â By Tuesday, I was seriously ill with a terrible sore throat, an ear ache, and chills. Â So, it was off to the urgent care center for me as well. Â I started about noon yesterday on 500 mg. of amoxicillan four times a day. Â I am better today but my throat is still sore.
This is probably the first sore throat that I have had in forty years. Â I have slept with my children and grandchildren, rocked them, held them, you name it, Â when they were sick and I never caught anything from any of them.
It concerns me that I so quickly picked this up from Little Buddy. Â I came down not only for the party but also to "dog-sit" while the family went to Disneyworld. Â They left this morning at 6 a.m.
When I get back home, I am going to go to my doctor and have a complete blood work-up. Â I just want to be sure there's not some underlying problem that caused me to be so susceptible this time. Â Â
