doctors and shots

today i am grateful for doctors. shots. and new nasal sprays.

since wednesday i haven't been feeling too great. bad pressure in my sinuses. pressure in my ears. a slight fever. a sore throat. sick enough to the point that i have watched all of season one of boy meets world, and read three richard paul evans books. i've slept countless hours, and gone through a package of dayquil. i missed our super saturday activity, and church. today i finally went to the doctor.

it wasn't a sinus infection, although my sinuses were pretty bad and the doctor was surprised that i had been able to breath through my nose.

my ears aren't infected, although they definitely have some fluid in them.

she did a strep test. i don't have strep.

so... instead of going home with antibiotics, i got to get a shot of something in my bum, and a sample of some new nasal spray.

in three days if i don't feel better, or if i feel worse before then, i go back and get some other prescription. hooray for dr thomas, even if she did make me get a shot in my bum!

as a side note, i forgot how much i love minkus from boy meets world. some of his sweater vests were pretty freaking rad!
