Day 26 - Mumps

Yesterday I managed to make it to Thanksgiving dinner even though I was feeling icky. My throat this morning is making it impossible to swallow water and I am freezing! I am wearing 3 layers and have my heat on 80.

I trek down to the local CVS Minute Clinic and upon seeing the doc (?) she immediately tells me what is NOT wrong with me and tells me I probably have a virus. THEN she asks me what she is treating me for. I told her a sinus infection and she tells me I don't have that. I am too sick to move, which is a good thing because I might have slugged her. I repeat that I have a sinus infection and suggest she examine me - what a concept! Lo and behold I have a severe sinus infection complete with 102 fever and glands so swollen it looks like I have the mumps. THEN she asks me what medicine I would like. I was going to have to get stitches soon from biting my lip. Anyway....I ended up with a Zpak and back to bed to sweat it off. Hey at least I was sweating and not working out.

I had complained about the no choc covered strawberries this week and they added them today. Cathy brought me some and I tried to eat them but alas was not able and what I did eat did not really have a taste.

No calorie count today.
