weekend excitement
spending several hour in the ER is no fun. Relax, it wasn't me. I'm fine. Jeff, my partner decided he needed to go to the ER this weekend. We went not once, but twice.
both of us managed to contract a cold or something similar from Spring Thaw. Yay for post bear run crud. Mine cleared up after just a couple of days, but Jeff's lingered for a couple of weeks. He thought he was getting better and then all of a sudden this Saturday his throat became severely sore and he wasn't able to eat or drink. I carted him off to the ER where they decided to pump him, via IV, full of saline, penicillin and some steroid to reduce swelling. He was diagnosed with Pharyngitis, which isn't as common as Laryingitis or Tonsilitis.
We had to return today for a checkup to make sure there weren't any complications with the drug coctail they gave him. He appears to be on the mend. The only thing we have to watch out for is the possibility of developing an abcess. The likelyhod of that is very slim however.
In other news, my contract at Starbucks came to an end on Friday. Tuesday I start a new gig at Getty Images in Fremont. I've got the usual mix of excitement and nervousness that accompanies any new gig. Should be a great experience though
