I was quite the busy bee this weekend and completed a great deal of outside work in the gardens. Sunday I woke up with a terrible sore throat and leg muscles that I had forgotten existed. My hope was to just stretch the legs out as I continued outside, but after a couple of swallows, I knew I wasn't going very far. At first I figured I over did the nose in the weeds - I have terrible allergies, but alas no.
Today I went to the doctor's early. By this time, just swallowing hurt like I was swallowing knives (yes plural). Drinking and eating were too painful to even think about. I have strep. I got the usual antibiotic and Vicodin for the pain. Love the Vicodin, I could finally drink the much needed fluids. As for my voice - I would rather not say... it hurts too much. The Vicodin also puts me to sleep, so I didn't really accomplish anything but rest. Guess that is what I needed. Tomorrow I will work on physically moving - the leg muscles are worse - not much stretching or movement while sleeping all day!
