Move over Typhoid Mary!
Looks like I was a carrier. Last time when Kenny brought strep home from school, and I thought that I “beat it,” I think it was just hiding inside me and has been ever since. That’s probably why he got it again so soon.
No wonder that for the past week I couldn’t get enough sleep to make me feel rested. No wonder I couldn’t get anything done. (I didn’t feel depressed, but I was acting like I was.) There is no mistaking that I have it now, although I am not suffering as much as I was told to expect to be. It sure hurts in the throat though. Nothing like it.
Oh, and aspirin is worthless for it. Can’t/don’t have the energy to find the tylenol, but four ibuprofin worked this morning. Can I take ibuprofin a half hour after taking three aspirin? We’re about to find out.
UPDATE: Shouldn’t I be feeling better yet? (It’s day three on penicillin.) I’m *kinda* better. But I still need pain reliever for my throat; still irritible; still tired.
