The Doctor Says

So today I had to call into work because my throat felt as if it was closing up. Even swallowing my spit hurts. I figured because of the pain and the fact that I would need doctor notes I better make an appointment. I used the Care Now clinic. I like going to Care Now because it is usually a lot cleaner then the basic hospital or doctors office. They have this program called Web Check In... It allows you to register/sign in online and enter all your payment and Insurance information...then when the doctor is ready for you you just go in and you avoid sitting in a doctors office. Kind of nice. Well...they tested me for strep, and mono...both text came back negative...they did some swab test of my throat to send off and they did blood work. It turns out that my throat actually has blisters all down it and even though I do not have tonsils I have tonsillitis in that general area not to mention high blood pressure and bacteria in the throat. Great right! I am contagious so off work until Tuesday. I have a few prescriptions that I get to take one is for nausea..and it is pretty crazy it knocks my ass out fast like within an hour. Anyway I am once again going to bed.
