Dear Prudence
haha... so this so bites. A] The opera is at the concert hall. This equals tons of pretty much easy hours. B] It's midterms. Granted not many of my classes believe in that, but I have one on Friday and I'm SO not looking forward to it. But... it's stage craft... I can... handle that... right? I hate sewing.
But. Guess what! Not Type A Strep Throat! That is what I have! I worked an ultra long day on Saturday and when we got done and were leaving... I started feeling nauseous, next day I started running a fever. Didn't go to work, felt like crap for that... Went into the Doctor's on Monday when my fever refused to eat dirt. The first results came back negative for strep, but they gave me penicillin anyways and told me to come back on Friday if it hadn't improved by then. 'til then, I should keep an eye on my phone because they were doing a culture of the sample they took from the back of my throat, just to make sure it isn't strep. I was walking out of chem lab when I got that phone call. Type A strep doesn't go away on it's own. It can lead on to Scarlet Fever [which I had when I was a baby], but this "Not type A" strep could run it's course and leave, but ... it would be painful, unpleasant and long. As is, I've gotten complaints of snoring when I sleep, running a fever when I'm not drugged up, feeling weak and having difficulty sleeping due to inability to breathe... you know. Swollen tonsils and stuffed nose make breathing next to IMPOSSIBLE.
So yes... I just missed my third day -- straight -- of class that I didn' exactly want to miss. I have no class tomorrow, so I'm gonna continue rest, rest, resting so I can hopefully be able to work SOME opera time. grr...
Other than that. Huge props to Aaron who's been nothing short of insanely helpful while I've been swooning and dieing on his couch. Yesterday, I woke up to him calling me and I asked him if he could bring my purse back from the Hall whenever he left -- for I had left it in a hurry to go to the doctor's. After this call, I went back to sleep and the next time I woke up, I found it and a new box of fruit and cream oatmeal on the table in front of me. :) Honestly, I don' think even my mother was this nice to me.
