Streptococcus pyogenes

February 8, 2007 · Posted in Life · 5 Comments 

Took my youngest to the doctor today. She had a sore throat and a stomach ache. I knew that it would be strep since the 10 year old has it also. What I wasn’t counting on was the doctor asking me if my throat felt alright. “Well now that you mention it, my throat is a bit scratchy!”

In goes the giant cotton swab and then I get diagnosed with it too. Needless to say I am off work tonight and feeling rather glum. An odd way to feel considering my post yesterday. I would rather be there than home sick. I hate being sick, it bugs the heck out of me.

Oh, did I mention that my youngest did better at the test than I did? She didn’t do anything but laugh when she got swabbed. I, on the other hand, gagged and choked. Much to the amusement of my Anna, who laughed even more.
