Sick, sick, and getting sicker. :(

[Kfamr]

Yeah.. The Muttlies have been taking really good care of me. Nala has been following me in every room I go. Although when they bark it's hard to get them to quit because it hurts to talk loud.

The doctors office is closed today. (What people don't get sick on January 2nd? ) Hopefully they'll be open tomorrow. I'm really sick of missing work, too. But if I went i'd probably end up being sent home anyways.

It took me atleast a half hour to eat a bowl of soup this morning. It was cold by the time I was finished. I'm forcing myself to drink and drink and drink although it hurts so badly to swallow even water.

Thanks everyone for your concern.

I hope you feel better soon!!

Hopefully it is something easily treated! So many things (mono, strep, swollen glands because of an infection, etc. etc.) can cause a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, I hope it is something other than "just a cold," where they just say "lots of fluids and rest ...."

Bundle up on the couch and I'd recommend just calling the doc the minute they open tomorrow and begging to be seen right away - they usually leave some time in the schedule for "emergencies." If they say they can't see you, ask for a referral to someone who can.

Karen, that is exactly what I was going to say. I had mono when I was a little older than Kay and I will never forget the sore throat that went along with it. It took me about a month to start feeling better. Kay you are doing exactly the right thing - drinking liquids and taking it easy. Hope you feel better soon.

Kay I do hope you start to feel better and mention Mono to the MD when you can get in because they might not automatically run a test for it.

Oh I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling so lousy. As everyone has said, lots of fluids and lots of rest are the answer until you can get to a doctor. I hope they can fit you in tomorrow morning.
