Back from the doc. I have some mystery virus/bacterial infection and am all loaded up on Advil and doxycycline (a lot of it). My doc thinks I caught whatev from the kid, who also had some throat irritation (mine has passed) but some sx of an STD. He did not have one (the kid) and I don't think I do either. My
vaping doc is so sweet though, he was all like, "Normally I run STD tests but I like to ask..."
"Oh gosh, yeah, do that. I mean, I'm monogamous and I'm pretty sure the husband is, but I'm also not omnipotent, so I'd very much like to KNOW if that is the case." LOL. So, he did a pregnancy test TOO and I am distinctly unpregnant, THANK GOD. Because I was informed to rest, advil and ice for the next 3 days (plus abx), and being pregnant would mean NO REST ever for the next 19 years. That would have been probably worse than a dx of syphilis if you ask me (although I'm pretty sure I don't have either). But I'd rather have syphilis than another KID at the age of 43.
The husband is being nice, while also more or less going "stay away from me." LOL. I think he might be wearing one of those flu masks if he thought he could get away with it.... So...
Much better than an urgent care, I was in and out in under 2 hours, despite multiple accidents and much road rage and roadwork. IDK what is going on with South Tucson, it seems to be growing faster than Tucson itself.
They don't know how to do roadwork over here, though, not even slightly. Sigh.
