I wasn't sick all winter except for that kidney stone. Here it is summer though and I get strep throat. This is the first one I have had in years. When I was a teenager about 16 I got strep every time I turned around. Back then they didn't have all the different kinds of antibiotics. I would go to the doctor and get a penicillin shot about three days in a row. I was supposed to get my tonsils out but that never happened.
I still got strep until I was in my mid thirties. Then all of a sudden I just quit getting it. Like a miracle. I think this is the first time since way back then. I hope this is not a sign I will start getting them again. Too old now to get my tonsils out. Major surgery when you are older.
They got lots of antibiotics you can take for it anyway. I hope mine helps soon. One side of my throat hurts when I swallow. Nobody wants to be around me either. Afraid they will get it I guess. Its like being quarantined.
I am hoping tomorrow I am a lot better. It will be Saturday. Got lots to do tomorrow if I am up to it. So tonight I will gargle with warm salt water like my Mom always told me to do. It really does help. I took my medicine already. Hopefully when I wake up I will be well again. When things like this happens it makes you appreciate your health..
I hope to wake up, have my orange juice. Read the paper. Go out and water my flowers. Maybe someone will talk to me tomorrow.....
