Strep sux

I started feeling awful on the drive back from Stockton Sunday night. It hurt to swallow and to talk. I had been fine a couple of hours earlier. I thought it was TMJ, because I hadn’t been wearing my nightguard.

On Monday, I didn’t go straight to a doctor, but everything had gotten worse. I couldn’t swallow anything, which was really messy, and I couldn’t talk. I still thought it was TMJ.

When the symptoms hadn’t improved on Tuesday, I went into UCSF’s urgent care clinic. There I was diagnosed with the classic symptoms of strep throat and prescribed penicillin and lots of ibuprofin.

And today I’m definitely feeling better. I ate some scrambled eggs this morning, the first solid meal I’ve had since Sunday, and the swelling seems to be going down bit by bit. I can swallow again!

Tomorrow I think I’ll be back to work, though probably from home.

It looks like I’ll be over this just in time for the weekend, when I return to Stockton to help in the final GOTV push.

    That’s all thanks to the Republican domestic bio-terror campiagn on liberals. Identify liberals working to increase educated voter turnout and “neutralize” them in the days before the election.

    Of course it’s all paid for from money raised by the CIA secretly selling crack cocaine to kids in the inner cities in order to prop up the War on Certain Drugs. It just happens to generate enough extra cash to fund other covert programs, like the one you’re suffering from.
