This week I caught strep throat. I knew I had it only 12 hours after I had a sore throat. The tight neck, sore spine, blistery throat, slight fever. My $20 copay was worth it.
The next day, Ash had a 104 degree fever. Blistery throat. Bingo. Her $20 copay was worth it.
Austin is unscathed. But half of the school has strep it seems.
And head lice is going around the schools too. Gross. Please stay far away from us.
As I'm recovering from strep, 3 days later Austin was tickling my head with those wire head ticklers and when I turned my head to the side and one of the wire prongs stabbed inside of my ear. Ouch. I screamed and the blood started trickling out of my hand, down my neck. I thought I'd never hear again outside of my right ear. Austin was mortified. We've got a bleeder!
So of course it's on a Saturday night at 9:30pm. No urgent care was open, didn't want to haul the kids to the ER, so I just called my on call Dr. and he said I'd be alright. I'm already taking antibiotics for the strep anyway.
Made it to the ENT Monday with cotton in my ear and brought the bloody contraption that brought me to my knees. He even cringed. He cleaned me up and I'm good to go.
Ear is healing. The head tickler is in the can. Not an ear tickler.
