My dental office was able to get me into a doctor's office about 15 minutes away, with an appointment only 90 minutes after they called to ask for one for me. They got me back before I finished my paperwork since I mentioned I suspected a fever. It was a struggle to speak.
Good news: strep test was negative. Bad news is there IS an infection. Am now waiting for the antibiotic, the cough suppressant, and a steroid (for the inflammation that's making my throat feel worse) from my local store. And it only cost (so far) my general visit copay.
I liked the doctor I saw. Kind lady who did her best to work with my trouble talking. Since this also counted as an establishing care visit she ordered some blood work. (Did get a giggle from seeing a copy of some silly picture: a pig on a skateboard, wearing a helmet, and in the air. Caption? "Swine Flew")
Today's classes are covered. Am waiting for word that tomorrow's are too, because she told me to stay home today and tomorrow.
I finally ate something and got some liquid down. Noticed that it didn't hurt so much to swallow. Maybe I'm already starting to turn even while waiting for the medications to be filled. So... soft stuff and liquids only.
Depending on how I feel, I might post the chapter of "Ginger Goddess 3" that's ready. We shall see.

I hope this does it for you, and that you feel better soon. Then you can keep on writing!! Really, get well.
Thanks. I think I may take a nap first. :)
I have to say I love the prescription cough suppressants. Usually there's codeine and it helps me sleep so wonderfully. And it doesn't taste as terrible as Robitussin ( though the bottle does say its a Tussin.
I do hope you feel better soon and the antibiotics do their job. :)
There used to be this really good cough syrup, prescription only. It worked marvels. I was once recovering from something and had to take it even though I was working. So I had a dose prepared and took it as soon as I was parked at work.
Finally have the meds and took the first doses. I have two more doses of two of them to take today, which is fine with me. And yes, I can't wait for them to do their job. :)
And believe me, I will. I am not having a coughing fit keep me up at night again.
Good to see you have access again. Did you notice that I posted an entire MAAN fic this month? :D
Codeine and promethazine in syrup is great for coughs and helping you sleep…well, promethazine is the best part of it really, cause while I love codeine and it made my life better for yrs, for the last like 5 yrs it kinda makes me nauseous and I've never been able to sleep with it, just doze real lightly, which can be nice unless you actually NEED to sleep!
I hopefully have some catch up time, I've been so looking forward to the 2 chapters I have left *rubs hands and dives in*
If I have another bad night's sleep I'm stopping by the pharmacy and asking for advice. But I can't take much more of these sleepless nights or I run the risk of getting sick again. :/ Any sleep would be WONDERFUL right now... And I'm just about to try my luck with sleep tonight after I take my final meds for the day.
There are so many details to enjoy. The lines I gave Dogberry that gave Benedick a headache... *giggles* Innogen and Maria's words to Beatrice in Chapter 8... Yeah, those might be my faves right now. :)
