This morning, on the way back from taking Kitten to her swim lessons, I swung by the store and picked up some chloroseptic spray, at Margie’s request. Her throat was killing her.
She did the appropriate spritzing, but didn’t feel much relief. She looked at the instructions in more detail, and noted it said that it shouldn’t be used in conjunction with a fever.
So this afternoon, she called the advice line at KP, and they opined that if her throat hurt that much, and she had a fever, she should probably go in and pay them a visit. And she did, and they ran some quick tests, and determined that (yes, you guessed it) she has strep throat.
“Yeesh,” I said, as I was riding the shuttle bus to the rental car lot, talking with her on my cell phone.
“So if you find your throat hurting, you should go see a doctor immediately,” she told me.
My throat immediately started feeling scratchy. “My throat is automatically feeling scratchy,” I told her.
I could hear her shake her head. “No, you’ll know if it’s hurting like this.”
Joy.
Yeesh…Strep throat.
I hope Margie gets better now that you all know what she’s got.
Oh jeez, my throat started feeling scratchy reading this!! I hope Margie gets over this/recovers quickly.
I will not use Chloraseptic! The pain of the sore throat is infinitely preferable to having that… stuff coating my throat! Gag!
Margie sprayed her throat.
“Mmmm. Tastes just like mothballs.”
“Oh. You mean, I should have bought the real stuff, instead of the Safeway generic version?”
“No, it’s supposed to taste like mothballs.”
No it tastes like library paste
Oh, that’s right. My bad.
