A Few Things I Learned Today
- Strep throat is far more painful than that wuss bronchitis.
- It is also something they can diagnose and treat at the CVS Minute Clinic vs. a lifetime spent in the waiting room of your internist. I'm actually considering switching my primary care physican to Nurse L'Anita, because I value efficiency over education when it comes to medical care and Nurse L'Anita does not waste her breath.
- If Nurse L'Anita asks if you want a prescription for Lidocaine there are a few things you might want to be aware of.
- Despite her description of the fresh minty mouthwash, the Lidocaine of which she speaks has the consistency and taste of Elmers glue.
- If, based upon her strong recommendation, you are desperate enough to try to gargle with it anyway, it will make your entire mouth numb for hours.
- With numb lips, no basset hound in the country will have anything on you. Except that they will know they are drooling. You won't.
um...ewww! When I asked if you did anything special for yourself with all short ones at school--this isn't quite what I meant! So, feel better--just stay in NC. :D
ReplyDeletei was going to express sympathy for your poor soor throat and then got blown away by your new look!! Looks good!! and yes.. I am sympathetic. But am also reminded of my sister in law who spent her ENTIRE PREGNANCY drooling. She walked around with a tea towel draped over her shoulder... feel any better now?!?
ReplyDeleteoooooooo.....sorry Melanie!!! I have had a few REALLY bad sore throats recently and thought for sure it was strep but always not. Hope you feel better!!! I think Evan has you beat with the drool, he is teething and it is everywhere!!!
ReplyDeleteBetween the huge red throat and the brightly colored 3-D leaves, I actually just rocketed backwards across the kitchen floor in my desk chair when I pulled up your blog. It was sort of fun but good thing I had already finished eating. I hope the pain and drool subside quickly.
